projection edges between parts together

[arzigogolo]

Hello, everyone!

It's been a while since I've been writing in the solidworks forum because I haven't used it for work anymore.
now in the company where I found work they use it and so I found myself to have to replenish it.

after some initial difficulties I have to say that I am taking enough on the method of working of soildworks (coming from inventor) and I am doing my hand, however I am encountering in a problem:

I would simply project the circular edges of some holes between two parts coupled together, but with the "converted entity" tool it does not make me select anything, nor circular edges, nor linear edges.

Therefore, inside the sketch of part n.1, I have to draw circles for each hole (and there are several) using the center of the holes on part n.1.
Imagine that beard if for each hole I have to be there to draw the respective circle and then use the "extruded cut" function.

I thought that with "converted entities" he did as an inventor and projected all the holes in one blow, and instead it does not work!:

It seems strange to me that you can't do it.. And yet I have tried them all.

Do you have any idea how to do this before?

thank you all!:smile:

the "converted entity" has always been light years ahead to that of inventor and what you try to do is possible forever.
If you can't select the edges of the first catch, I think you have the selection filters activated with the exclusion of the edges. control and restore

Exactly, it was the filter!:finger:

I activated "wall filter" and I could select the edges, big!
I didn't think it was a matter of filters (you see that I still have to do my hand), it seemed strange that you couldn't do it.
but then do I have to always check them when working with sketches or in part or together?
I thought he would activate them automatically depending on the context.

thanks anyway!:finger:

Have you changed the glass ball??? :biggrin:

I keep them all unchecked (I icon "freeze all filters" in the bottom of filters) and activate the most used when I need them with keyboard shortcuts.
eye that by default the "x" and "e" keys activate the filters of the faces and edges, then if you inadvertently press the keys then you can no longer select the other geometries. However, the pointer icon changes when the filters are selected, so you can see it immediately

no, it's always that, only that I updated the firmware to 2.0 and the images are much sharper. with the next2.1 it seems there will also be the vision in 3d with special glasses:smile:

Hello, everyone!

according to the type of holes you have to do if instead of the extruded cut you use the guided hole command, putting points at the center of the driving holes, this will benefit you:
if you have to change the size or type of holes you just have to change a couple of options,
if you need to insert fixes together you can use the repeat guided by the series

In fact, I also care about them all disactive when I work and I thought that according to the command, he activates those of relevance. However, with "intensive entities" did not activate the filter "select borders", should it not have activated it? Why do I think, with "converted entities" it is assumed that you should select edges too, or not?

I didn't know that.
It is true, with holes instead of with the extruded cut it is easier it is faster because you do not have to draw the circle and quota it and therefore save more time.
