Ah - that's a bummer - I had hoped that I could connect to a dynamic component and benefit from its properties - can't afford a Pro License for what I do and what I earn. Will just have to find a route around this obstacle. Thanks for your help. Kind regards

Hi Good People. I am trying to attach a door that I designed to a dynamic hinge that I downloaded so that when the hinge moves the door moves with it. Problem is I do not seem to be able to do this. Any ideas or advice would be gratefully appreciated. Many thanks. Chris

Many thanks for your help - it was the 'hide' that was causing me the issue - I had used X-ray assuming that this was just another form of hide - silly me.

We learn on the shoulders of giants.

All the best

Hi. - I have created a model and then decided to add a radius to an external corner - then problem is the radius will start inside the model - Have added an attachment - its an X-ray view. - have also attached a normal view. I have tried using the follow me and the push/pull tool to no avail. Any Ideas how I can create the radius would be much appreciated people. Many thanks and thanks for reading this. Chris

Hi All. _ Have solved the mystery - and I think its a bug in the software. If you start with a new sheet/drawing then the coordinates displayed by the text tool are correct in relation to the reference point (Origen) [0,0,0]. However if you change the axis at all then the coordinates displayed by the text tool are still relative to the original axis and Origen. The only point in space that is updated to the new Origen is 0,0,0 (or any combination). I found this be creating some boxes and moving then to points in space with the MOVE[x,y,z]. This worked perfectly until I changed the Origen - then s--t happened. Thanks for reading the post.

Hi - I am new to SU and am painfully learning to use it - One thing I want to be able to do (because I think I should be able to do it) is to move components, groups and objects to a specific location in 3D space. I know I can only find the x,y,z coordinates of objects (so need to break apart components, groups) using the TEXT tool. I also understand the I use MOVE [ x, y, z] to move an object to an ABSOLUTE point in 3D space. My problem is that when I try to move object A to object B using the coordinates of object B, it moves off to a different point in space - but if I move object A to [0,0,0] it goes to the X,Y,Z origin, BUT if I look at the coordinates of object A at the origin they don't equate to 0,0,0. So I am not sure where this offset is coming from. I tried to attach an example but it was too large?. Any help to relive my poor brain would be so much appreciated - thanks for reading this.
