Anbother newbie frustration - moving parts
I'm finding that the move and rotate part commands are inconsistant. With two (sub)assemblies that are constrained to move relative to each other in one direction only, sometimes I can move one of them OK, then without doing anything, a few minutes later, the move command just doesn't work. I've even gotten a constrain error in trying to move them at times. i've tried zooming both in and out to try move, but at random times, the move just does not respond.
As a side issue, the axis arrows sometimes appear, some times not, and some times the arrow pointing in the direction I want to move is the wrong arrow - as if the axis were shifted.
Could this be my computer [I'm running a 1 gig PIII with 634 megs RAM].
I have noticed that as time goes on, AD uses up more and more memory - approaching 300 megs RAM at times.
For whatever it's worth, another program I use - DesignCad, a much simpler program with far less 3D capabilities - NEVER causes these type problems.
I would really appreciate finding out if this is me, the program, or my computer!
Thank all of you, George
