[clears throat] center rectangles

[cacciatorino]

I was building a rectangle inside an existing rectangle. wanting to keep the second rectangle centered compared to the first, do I have to add auxiliary geometries like points and/or lines of reference?

I tried to select medium/medium point on the two adjacent sides but then I did not propose the horizontal/vertical bond

Hello hunter. . .
to center the inner rectangle you are obliged to build at least 3 auxiliary lines and give the coincidence between the average points of them...

 

[fabio.f21]

... at least 2 lines... Sorry.

si... 4 points or 2 lines to handle, to make after vertical/horizontal. alternatively design each rectangle from the central point and the reference geometry puts it swx, but to see it is more "sporty" and in your case iho are better two lines of construction made vertical/horizontal

If you make offset you don't like it?
if you do the rectangle with central point and put 2 constraints between a diagonal and one
And you're repeating with the other diagonal?

Okay, thank you. I can confirm the impression I had.

Bye.

If you make offset you don't like it?

even if I have to do different offsets on both sides?

if you do the rectangle with central point and put 2 constraints between a diagonal and one
And you're repeating with the other diagonal?

So it seems to me that it can go, big way it becomes as simple as with the other cad. Actually, constraints need three, but always better than drawing points and lines and then binding them.

make two offsets and trim the excess.

draw a diagonal from edge/spigol, with a construction line, of the existing rectangle and use the average point of the same to trace the new "central rectangle" (positive function).
at that point the two sides (superior and lateral) and you will have a rectangle
centered on the existing one.

draw the internal rectangle and the quoti on the four sides of the existing one.
(two shares will have equality equation with the other two).
some bonds we'll have to give.
What's the problem? are there solutions in other softwre that make it quicker?

In the example image you posted I have the cleanest solution is to add two construction lines from the middle points and add after the horizontal/vertical bond. if to draw the lines click-transport-leave are 5 clicks of number including those for constraints.
If you need a general offset, put an equality bond and a share, if independent offset two odds, and even from this point of view is the quickest to change.
if you already know that you need the general offset then it is worth using the appropriate command

I was just looking for a quicker solution, clearly the streets are so many.

It's that I'm used to edge that automatically captures the middle point of segments, and lets you use it to align. swx doesn't do it automatically (you always have to tell him "select middle point") and in some cases he doesn't let you use it to do what you need. I thought there was a hidden snap somewhere to enable but you can't see.

However the soliduser solution to use the diagonals at the end seems good.

Solidworks has the medium-point snap. does not automatically align you but it makes you track from or to the average point automatically.

I'm sorry. I mean, it doesn't always make you use it as an alignment point.

igo video that simulates your command through lines, all through rmb.
or register a macro that uses the rmb for the selection of the average point and assigns the correct relationship.
that of the macro I propose it as, in such simple cases you can implement cases of missing commands in sw without resorting to external.

It is clear that if in this situation it is faster to place your rectangle.
