I am trying to create a more realistic model and was thinking the correct work flow is to create a few sketches and then use these sketches as reference, the reference sketches are called "Vertical" and "Horizontal".
I am using the Part-Design workbench, and to organize I'm putting everything inside a Part container (see attached).
My work flow is as follows:
- I create a Part
Add Body and rename it "Reference"
Create 2 sketches and rename then to Vertical and Horizontal
Create a new body for the head of the grinder
Use Shape Binder link to Vertical sketch and select all the items in the sketch
Highlight the binder and create sketch
Use external reference tool and select the arcs and circles
I have not used Binder's before and I'm assuming that I'm doing it wrong.
Looking for advice on how to approach this project so it works and learn a robust way of creating the drawings.
This is my broken file.
