    • Another easy one

      Is there a way to extend (stretch) this fame without deleting the 2 middle boards, moving the end frame, drawing the boards back in too the new length, moving and aligning the end frame?

    • RE: Easy hole question

      thank you
      It took a few times (yea right - probably a dozen) to figure out what to click or double click and what to intersect what with what. But I finally got it to work and have done it several times to make it sink in. And it works like a charm.
      Nice job
      thanks

    • Easy hole question

      this is def a newbe type question.
      How can I draw a hole from a flat surface to an angled surface?
      Example: A 1x6 board.. saw the end off in a 45 degree..tip board on edge.. drill a hole perpendicular to the edge so that it comes out in the center of the angled cut.
      When I push the hole I can't stop it on an angle. It is either not seen or looks like a rod protruding from the angle. I need the face of the hole flat to the face of the angle.
      Probably will step x step instruction for this simple mind.
      Thanks

      Hope I am in the right section.
      I drew a ramp for my trailer. Then I highlighted a bunch of lines and created a group.
      When I rotated the group some lines that were supposzed to be part of the group stayed. I must have missed them when cfreating the group. Conversly, lines that were not intended became part of the gtoup and moved with the rotation. Again I must have highlighted lines I didn't mean to when making the group,
      How can I now add the lines to the group that stayed behind and make the unintended lines no longer part of the group?
      Sorry for the long post.

    • RE: Exploded views

      I figured out that I could draw a line and right click it, then divide it into many parts.
      Then I can guess at the where every other segmant is along the line and erase it.
      Takes too long though.

      I tried to download Xline but my computer says I can not see files that end in RB.
      I don't know how to open it.

    • Exploded views

      I want to show an exploded view of an assembly, using guide lines to show where points will be connected. How do I draw in the connecting lines as I show in this picture. (I put the red guide lines in using 'Paint')
      thanks

    • Drawing round objects

      I hope I can explain this.
      I can not seem to be able to draw a circle--pull it to make a cylinder--then reduce the diameter-pull it some more and increase the diameter.
      The final object should look like a pedestal,with a bowl on top.
      How do you do that?
      thanks
