Unasseen per andni sketch?

I have a problem, I can't draw an axis on the face of a cube, especially if it is decentralized compared to the half-axis of the same, it always tells me "insufficient geometry".
I select as a sketch plan the side of the cube, then insert a two-point center line, but it gives me error.
What is the logic of this command?
 
the logic is that the sketch cannot contain only one axis, it must also contain a geometry (line, arc ... etc.).
If you need only one axis, use the reference one.
 
Okay, thank you, I thought I could do a center line on the floor, but I understand I can't if I don't have geometric references before.
So, the intersection between two floors, type front and top is a geometric reference?
because in that case I can do it very well.
I'm following some tutorials from a university and I have to say they're really done with my feet.

Yes, in the sketch you must have two axes or a reference point, otherwise pro/e would not know how to insert the quota constraints.

Yes, the normal plans on the sketch plan are automatically taken as references.
 
Curse at that day that the design prof of the superiors made me fix with autocad, because now it is not easy to adapt to a new software after centuries passed on a single cad, especially if the way of reason is totally different, being this a parametric cad, the other a digital pencil. :
So, I bother you as always, I'm practicing just to learn.
I design a cube, and I want to make a handle that is half a bull, to make it start exactly from the surface of one of the sides I insert a reference on the surface with skecth -> references.
with sweep I realize everything, the reference I need to draw the trajectory just from the surface on which the reference rests.

My doubt is that after finishing the sketch the reference disappears and leaves me only right and front (the basic ones) being my top reference plan?
 
So you embarrass me!
You were too kind, the pdf didn't expect it. :smile:

Thank you very much, now I have learned to use references, at least I think.

of nothing, in some cases it is done first like this.

As you are at the beginning I recommend you to do some tutorials, otherwise for attempts you will take more time to learn.

within the installation directory you will find a pdf to start.
c:\dir_install_proe\html\italian\proe\helpsy stop\siteset\gsguide.pdf

on the ptc site, at the following address you will find other tutorials.http://www.ptc.com/products/tutorials/wf4/localized/it/toc/index.htm
 
as I told you I was following some really bad facts.
I feel very detailed.

Thanks again.

I give you advice regarding references:

every time you enter the sketch you always have to think that everything that selects as a reference becomes a child, so it will move or fail accordingly to the father (plan, spigolo,superfice,vertice).
pro/e like other parametric cads does not automatically hold references, just because from the user the possibility to choose the father/son relationship he prefers, if you do it automatically you wouldn't even realize and you have no control on the model.
by default the only references it holds are the 2 vertical and horizontal planes to allow the positioning of the section, which you can clearly also replace with others.

for the handle, I would have done it with a simple revolution since the profile is a ray.

I was also about to do it as a revolution, then I thought it would give an eye to the sweep feature, as he asked.

ot: Do you want to have a chat or do we hear you Monday?

I'm still at the beginning, with autocad for years I've been thinking differently, now it's hard to change, but I want to succeed.
