This time I’ve created a trapezoid by first drawing two parallel horizontal lines exactly 500mm apart from each other. Then I added the two inclining sides on the left and right. After this I moved the trapezoid where is was supposed to end up exactly over two existing lines. However, as you can see in the screenshot only the bottom line will be 100% aligned to the previous one, but the upper one seems to be just slightly off. How can that be?
When I enlarge the sketch it becomes apparent that the corner points didn’t end uo in the right place.
So, it’s the same problem as described above and wonder what I should do…
I looked to see if there were any visual ques that 2 lines weren’t connected. No. It would be handy. Something to show 2 or more selected lines had connection?
In order to make the snapping function work for me, I thought it might be a good idea to at first make sure that my drawing is “snapped” to guide lines. Therefore i tried moving it like so
thanks very much for you video. I drew the trapezoid in a very similar way and had no difficulties with it. But I do have trouble positioning it. In this picture you can see that the height (50 mm) exactly matches the distance between the two lines where I want to move it to.
Simply dragging it to the correct position should work:
A note if I may:
I see that most of your lines are off the grid. It helps a lot if you keep in mind the grid positions, especially if you want to keep snap to grid on. Otherwise, it might be better to turn it off, as when you draw/drag something close to the grid, it will “snap” to it, and you might end up with not connected lines/ not closed sketches as before.
In that case, the Translate tool might be more helpful than the simple move:
Depending on what you are trying to accomplish, it might be also easier to create the drawing just once, then select it, turn on the copy badge on the Move tool, and create copies of it, instead of trying to draw it multiple times.
I appreciate it a lot! As for the snap settings, they’re all turned on.
The translate tool is exactly what I needed! Thank you so much
