I hope I have chosen the right area.

a series of questions arise on the management of the logical tree, the environment part and the sketcher, which list below:

- how to permanently inhibit the enlargement/reflection of the logical tree?

- how to permanently fix the position of the logical tree at the top left, if possible? I explain better: can you disable the scrolling by wheel, letting the tree slide is only the vertical bar on its left?

- Is there a way to view threads?

- is there a set to decide the video rendering of arches and circumferences not to see them segmented when you enlarge in sketchers? is precision 2d and 3d? what values did you use in precision rapps?

- when you work in a part with multiple domains (more bodies) with what command you define the active bodies?

- Can I use a sketch already in one feature and duplicate it to use it in another? or if you are more understandable: Can I reuse the geometry of an antecedent feature to create a later feature?

- when you build a sketcher geometry there is a way to have an automatic snap not on the grid but on the top of an existing geometry? Do I always project the remarkable points of an existing geometry to be able to 'attach' me? does not exist automatic snap? does not exist a panel where you specify the remarkable points to which the new carrier is 'calamitated'?

thanks early.
 
I'm just a rookie. but I can answer a couple of questions (or at least the way I do it...

for the quality of rendering I can tell you that the parameters are in the "performance" menu of the options. Attached you have an image of the settings I have on the machine. substantial steps to proportionality and put it to a minimum. . : )

While for the bodies, I always do so, in the logical tree, dx key on the body of interest and in the drop-down menu choose "define in the object of work". . :

- how to permanently inhibit the enlargement/reflection of the logical tree?
tools\options\general\visualizes in the 'table logical tree manipulation' deactivates the option "enlargement or reduction. . . "

- how to permanently fix the position of the logical tree at the top left, if possible? I explain better: can you disable the scrolling by wheel, letting the tree slide is only the vertical bar on its left?
to avoid scrolling just get a mouse with only three keys (and only three), much more ergonomic than the wheel.

- Is there a way to view threads?
filet analysis, or only at the table, if the appropriate icon appears in the tree (the tree is as important as geometry, perhaps more).
a filet display method exists only in the 3d squared module.
if you just can't do without it, this topic has been treated several times in the forum and you can find a macro to color threads

- when you work in a part with multiple domains (more bodies) with what command you define the active bodies?
tsdx on the body in the "defined work object" pop-up menu.
- Can I use a sketch already in one feature and duplicate it to use it in another? or if you are more understandable: Can I reuse the geometry of an antecedent feature to create a later feature?
you can use as many times as you want the sketch tied to a feature, just select it after calling the function.
- when you build a sketcher geometry there is a way to have an automatic snap not on the grid but on the top of an existing geometry?

no is the method of snaps, only through the projection of geometry.

may be useful to someone:
there is the possibility to disable the option that allows you to enlarge or reduce the logical tree.

often happens that inadvertently you click on the asticella (white rhymes) and consequently the logical tree is activated. at this point zooming up the logical tree. What maybe you didn't want to do.

with this option you avoid this inconvenience.

with the deactivated option, you can enlarge or redefine the logical tree by clicking first to the bottom right on the axle.

I hope I was useful to someone

I reply briefly my impressions:
"tools\options\general\visualizes in the 'tool manipulation logical tree' deactivates the option "to enlarge or reduce. . . "
Yeah, actually, I had already taken off the box. However, I remain with the problem that when I press ctrl by keyboard and press the central mouse button (rotellina) I can run in the inconvenience of resize the font of the tree, if they are out of object and/or non-coordino area. cmq I observed that 'ga non da fà'. so it is and so it remains. :smile:

in fact the command is right, that is, if you want to zoom in the tree you can also use that option.
It's an official way to zoom in and out and it's not elminabile because, I think, it's an option of windows. try to do it in word, excel. etc.

curiosity: but what do you need the ctrl+rotella (or central key) in the cat?
 
Right. I didn't remember him anymore. It's good news, I can always try to disable it by register key on xp (never used).
ctrl + wheel click pressed = enlarge / reduce.
the same keys but reversed as sequence give the wheel.
I am much more comfortable to do so, with the free left hand, than that acrobatic game with fingers on the second and third mouse button, where the 'second' is the click of the wheel that not in all mouse requires little pressure and it is also difficult to maintain if you also want to move it, the mouse.
I found alternatives here:
- a programmable mouse to entrust, among other things, 'adapted view' and 'look' (the enlarge/reduce is not selective) as light and not oversized
- the board controls, not bad at all. I keep them a little enlarged on the dx and with 90% opacity. are excellent, the only thing, the wheel, which does not allow you to make a complete rotation due to the limited mouse excursion on one side of the screen. but I repeat: they are good.
I miss doing the tests with the tablet, I'm still not practical with the pen. :biggrin:

but that is st'om. .
a precious column for catists... :finger:
 
Is it not that x error you shredded the tree??? ?
try to click below to right there is a triad of axes, you will see that the design of "disillumina" tries to zoom in and see if you reappear .................. try also with the f3 key because if you do it while it is hidden you do not see it.

Thank you. with a series of attempts, also clearing the 3d connexion that in recent times with the new drivers has created some boredom.
I solved from the drawing environment ... dx key center grfo and mysteriously reappeared the tree, finally I opened part and as you said.....
