Thanks jdg268

Is there a way to have all dimensions behave like this by default.

Thanks dezignstuff option 2 works fine for me.

Is there a way to rotate dimensions in a drawing? For instance if I do a vertical dimension , is there a way to have the dimension text be oriented horizontally instead of vertically.

Thanks Janman that worked.

If I right click on a plane and click show, the plane is displayed. However if I click in the model area the plane disappears. Why is the plane disappearing? Can I prevent this?

Thanks mmurphy50.

For each part I drag into my assembly a pair of blue arrows is displayed along with the part. The blue arrows are perpendicular to each other and appear to have their origins at what would be the origin of the x-y plane in the original part. When the part is moved the blue arrows are moved also...

Whenever I zoom in on the model and press down on the scroll bar to change my viewpoint, the model disappears. If I focus again (by pressing f) the position of the model is different from what it was before I zoomed in. It appears that by attempting to change my viewpoint I am moving the model.

When I focus (by pressing the f button) on my model, the model appears far away. I have to zoom in to see my model. This is making it impossible to work on my model. How can I fix this.

Thanks handleman. I followed your advice and was able to make my extrued cut.

The part I am working on is available at http://www.mydynamicweb.net/ The link is rain_guard.rar

The message says "The sketch can not be used for a feature because an endpoint is wrongly shared by multiple entities". I have selected Cut-Extrude from the drop down box. I am attempting to make a Cut-Extrude feature from the sketch.

I turned auto-solve mode back on and I'm still getting the same message. The sketch is very large. I'm not getting any information on what points are wrongly shared.

I did what you said and I get the same message. Auto-Solve mode is off. Is that affecting anything.
