Hi Albie, Thanks for writing the thread editor but being new to this I need some numpty level help. I have downloaded it and it appears in the "Add-On" tab. When I click on it I get this: When I click on "Documentation" It says "File not found". I need step by step instructions on how to use...

OK thanks guys!

I'm trying to put text on a surface on a 3d model. The help section says, "Select the Sketch Text tool from the Sketch Figures group in the 2D Sketching tab." However however hard I look I can't find the Sketch Text tool: Any ideas how I add text without the Sketch Text tool?

"Feature Color of the imported STEP files was overriding Part Color - easy to fix once that was spotted." yes thanks that was the problem. I'm still working on KeyShot.

Imported STEP files are not chameleons, they don't change colour. I have an imported step file of a case that was originally yellow but coloured it green. Now I have to put the lid on it and I cannot for anything remember how I changed the colour of the case. So now I a green case with a yellow...

I am doing an exploded view drawing. One of the component is a sub assembly (part 8 below) but the box is ticked for "Treat as a part". However in the exploded view there are numerous part trails coming from this one part so it looks like a character in a 1970's comic running away "Whoosh..."...

Another question, is there a way of selecting which parts have part trails? I can only find a way of having part trails for all of them or none but I want to select which parts have trails. Also can one call out balloon have more than one arrow, e.g. if you have several identical parts, you...

Hi guys yes, thanks, I've that works too.

Is there a way to prevent sub assemblies being exploded in exploded view? I have an assembly made up of sub assembles. I have already done the sub assembly exploded view diagrams and now want to assemble them into an overall assembly. But when I try to do that the sub assemblies "explode" as...

OK guys thanks for the advice.

Hi, I have a sheet metal object made from a 3D part, basically a 3D trapezoid. I want to revise the 3D part, which will change the sheet metal part, but also keep the current version of the sheet metal object in case the revision doesn't work. I can save a copy of the 3D object as it is now...

Ah, OK thanks for the advice guys.

Hi, I've created a cross section view of a stainless steel part. I have selected the material for the part as stainless steel and checked the cross hatch pattern is OK. However in the drawing the cross hatching does not appear and clicking on "Hatch" in the drawing Annotations bar doesn't seem...

Good idea I'll try that.

Yes I deleted the constraints and went through the constraints list to check there were none relating to those points. There are no constraints in error.

That's what I don't understand, I have deleted the objects they relate to. How do I find what they do relate to? I have been through all the constraints and can't find anything.

Hi, I have a complex model with about 100 components. I had put 2 points in the model, one was to help constrain an object I have since deleted and I can't remember where the other one comes from. Now I want to delete them but can't, there is no option to delete in the drop down menu. They are...

OK thanks guys.

Sorry, what is the facet resolution? is that something a user can change? Strangely I've found changing the hole pattern also solves it.

I am working on a simple perforated disc. I want the holes to be 3mm diameter but if the holes are bigger than 2.96mm the disc stops behaving like a solid. Hole size 2.96 mm Hole size 2.97 mm Any ideas how to have 3mm diameter holes?
