SOLVED - Not a Glitch in F360 sketch

@ChelanJim found it in post 27. 3D sketch needs to be turn on in the sketch pallet window.

Not sure what update did this one in.

New sketch

Draw rectangle. Used to be able to set the degree of the rectangle by tabbing over the degree box and enter in your degree, or IIRC clicking on the dot on the radius between X and Y if you needed it not parallel with X and Y.

Nope. Current on updates as of today. Closed and restarted F360. still can’t do it.

Could someone verify for me?

Sorry, I have not tried to do it the way you are describing, but…

You can select dimension command [d], select one line and then the other line of the corner and the angle will come up for editing.

If you are drawing a rectangle you shouldn’t have to enter the angle as the default is 90 degrees. I think what you are describing would be a parallelogram. :wink:

Sorry… the engineer inside of me came right out of me this morning. :wink: :joy:

Draw a diamond like you would a rectangle.

“R”
Left Click, drag into something, used to be an arc with the dot to click and rotate it to a degree - ergo a diamond, or tab over to degrees, select …45…then drag to your dimensions.

“Parallelogram” is the word of the day :sunglasses: It kinda rolls off your tongue :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Let’s not fight. Aren’t we really talking about “quadrilaterals” after all? :innocent: :wink:

But seriously, when has any of us used the term “quadrilateral” since geometry class?

No, a parallelogram. Illustration # 4.

Back to the parallelogram. A Dog is a species. Right, but a St Bernard is totally different from a Chihuahua. A parallelogram is a Chihuahua in the quadrilateral, which is the species.

Oh, now this is fun information. Not necessarily (not at all) what Sticks was getting at:

Guy guys guys.

Kleenex is to facial tissue, as parallelogram is to quadrilaterals.

All parallelograms are quadrilaterals but not all quadrilaterals are parallelograms.

I love a good analogy.

I really like that. Never heard that word before.

an instance of a form of reasoning in which a conclusion is drawn (whether validly or not) from two given or assumed propositions (premises), each of which shares a term with the conclusion, and shares a common or middle term not present in the conclusion (e.g., all dogs are animals; all animals have four legs; therefore all dogs have four legs ).

“All squares have four sides therefore all four sided objects are squares.” Clear as mud. :rofl:
I think I missed a step, somewhere :thinking:

Here I am hoping that someone knows what I am talking about, and either has not updated their F360 for a while and can do it, or now notices that that feature is gone.

I cannot reproduce it with your directions. I think it is gone.

That was the Oxford dictionary’s example. Mine was worse.

So you can’t rotate a shape in fusion now? What the heck? Or they changed how to rotate it?

I thought he was trying to change the angle of one of the corners. He said he would click on the dot and could tab to the angle measurement. But not now.

You can still rotate the shape.

Draw a diamond. A square rotated 45*,.

Used to be able to do it in 3 easy steps from start to finish.

This is the Autodesk forum solution
Hi,

  1. create 3 point- or center rectangle

  2. remove perpendicular constraint

  3. add horizontal, vertical and coincident constraint

  4. dimension angle

Am I not explaining this correctly?

Lets try this.

Start to draw a rectangle. Is there a third box that pops up other than length and width?
