Problems with CAD after moving with 'Positioning"


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I've got a weird issue after upgrading to the latest Service Pack on 2018 6.6.16

If I load a CAD and don't move it, everything is fine. If I take a point, on the CAD surface, it appears where I clicked with the mouse.

The problems start when I reposition the model with "CAD- Modify CAD entities - Positioning" menu
After doing that, if I click on the model to take a point, it appears where it would be originally before moving.
In the second picture I have clicked on the front face to take a point, and it appeared 2" in front of the part - that's where the front face originally was before moving.

I have checked it on two different stations with the same result.
Any ideas what may be causing it?
Thanks,

The point's vector changes correctly, its just the location.

And I don't have 6.6.12 installed anymore, but I know it was behaving correctly.

It's not a deal breaker for me, as I usually rotate the part's model by setting spatial and planar rotations. This way it works correctly. However, if I subsequently add some fixture models I run into issues. There is a couple of fixes in 6.6.16 that I like so I won't be reverting 😉

Thanks for input!
I have this issue currently once you move the CAD away from the established Base alignment. It will generate points with the CAD surface, then relocate it to what seems like a random location.

I established a temporary alignment and it resolved my problem, never had the issue prior to 6.6.12 though. kinda weird. 😃

I have found in a few features created from models there is a CAD Evaluation View being generated.
Select a feature that is moving when selected, then check the menu: CAD / Evaluation.
If there is a view saved, there will be a "Trash Can" icon in the lower middle area of the window frame.
Delete the view.
