I have an INFURIATING problem.
Sometimes after constraining a bunch of simple rectangular extruded parts into a box, the whole thing has gone out of alignment with the workspace axes.
See the "measure" screenshot - that whole rear panel is perfectly constrained to all the other components but all of them in unison somehow now are 0.86 degrees out of alignment with the Y axis:
This is a problem because in order to produce proper 2D cutting outputs (for a laser or CNC etc) one MUST HAVE part outlines with extrusions perpendicular to the workspace planes. (That's another whole issue which I will gripe about in a separate thread).
Now, I do know that I can constrain a part edge, for instance, to an axis or a part face to a plane. But in doing so, various other items within the assembly which previously had their constraints removed (after placement, to save processing power and reduce unwanted "overconstrained" error messages) will not move with the panel.
I don't know how the whole assembly got tilted either. I SWEAR I did NOT use the triad thingy.
Am I seriously the only unlucky one who has this issue (frequently)? I must be doing something wrong. PLEASE HELP.
1) How can I remove the axis rotation on the entire assembly?
2) How can I prevent this ever happening in the first place?
