create tie rods in a frame

[GianniM]

continuing with my evidence, I met this big hitch.

I designed an irregular polygonal frame using the chassis generator. Then, at certain points, I have inserted some holes on which I would like to lay down some rods.

How do I match the hole's position with that tie?

I thought I'd make a plan, draw on a sketch, projecting the positions of the holes, join the holes with a line, finally return to the axieme and use the sketch as a frame to insert the profile of the tie.

Unfortunately it doesn't work! I think I can't make two frames in the same set, but if I create a second set, I can't use the first frame to project the position of the holes.

a suggestion.

the plan and sketch you have to do it directly in the .ipt file where you already have the sketch for your frame.
then returning to realization:
if the pull is welded you just use the usual commands of the generator in the usual together.
If the pull is a screwed piece and you want to build it with the generator, you have to do another set where you insert the file with the sketches and use only the sketch of the tie, then assemble on the frame axieme with the appropriate constraints.
look at this:http://www.cad3d.it/forum1/showthre...generatore-telaio&highlight=generatore+telaio

Thank you. I understand the proposed solution.
However, if I have to draw the sketch without using the axieme, this implies that I know exactly where the holes are, compared to the generator frame. which is not.

I'm trying. Do I need to get my hand measurements? Ow!

Try like this, it seems to me that it works:
use the "crea" command from your set.
made a side file will not be that the useful sketch for the generator.
In this way you can tell him to make a line from this at that point.
saves the created part/piece.
insert it into a new set and make us the tie.
try inserting it into the main axieme, you should be there....if you don't give the cyclic reference warning.

It was my thought, too.
but when inside the axieme containing the frame I create a part, all the rest (so also the frame) becomes semi transparent, and it is no longer possible to use it as a reference.
I can only create a sketch, but then I have no way to export it into a new set as mentioned in post 1.

Bho, he doesn't.
becomes semi transparent, but I can use all the references I want to project them into a sketch. . .

My fault. Proof that I tried to get your directions.
Thank you.
