Ok, one problem that I have encountered with layers (my own fault) is that I beleive sometime in my design process, I foget to switch things back to the default layer, then when I go to hide something, something else gets associated or included and it turns into a mess.

EXAMPLE - simplified (yes im hungry at the moment)

Ok, assume in the project you have a cheeseburger

Default Layer
Layer 1 = Bottom Bun
Layer 2 = Burger
Layer 3 = Cheese
Layer 4 = Lettuce
Layer 5 = Tomato
Layer 6 = Top Bun

You start designing the project with Layer 1 and then move onwards to Layer 6
So I draw out the bottom bun, make it a component, then create a layer, do the same for burger, etc. then all the way to Layer 6

Now, assume you originaly drew american cheese in layer 3 and want to go and edit the component. Somewhere along this step is when I made the error of not being in teh default layer. So just as an example, say I was working in Layer 6 finishing up the burger, then I edited the cheese, layer 3. When I toggle visisbility on Layer 6 from on to off, it would hide the cheese (layer 3).

Even when i go back to the component and make sure cheese is layer 3, it still does it.

Is this a glitch?
What I have had to do is delete the layer, delete the component, then start from scratch as in redrawing the cheese.

Any ideas?

thanks

Under Model Info >> Units >>

I am looking at two of the fields

1. Precision
2. Length Snapping

Ok, to start I am working under Architectural

How does 1) and 2) work?

My Situation.

The default on mine was 1/16" for precision and 1/4" Length Snapping.

I am designing a jig saw guide and need to work with 32nds of an inch.

The problem I am running into is when I used the ruler for precision 32nds, it shows the correct placer, but when I go to draw a line it does not let me connect two points.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Greetings all-

I am in architectual mode and am trying to enter in measurement directly on the keyboard. When I draw a line with the mouse, I see the length in the bottom right of the screen. After I release the mouse, I then type in the length

Ex.
1' 4" then press enter - this works just fine lifes good

Then say if I want t type in Three and a Half Inches, so far I have been doing
Ex.

3.5" - this works just fines for decimals lifes good.

Ok, here is the problem I am having, i know the fraction/decimal conersion for 1/4s and 1/2s, etc. but for fractions like 15/16 or 8/32nds I don't know the conversion to decimal.

QUESTION:
Assume I draw a line with the mouse then release the mouse, is their a way to type in a parital fraction distance, examele, Three Feet, Four Inches & Fifteen Sixteenths? in a non-decimal format in archectual mode?
