BTW, it is SUPPOSED to look somewhat like a hair-drier (it doesnt even on the sheet) but it looks like a mess... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

The auto-dimensioning can make it look very odd. Looks like you have a lot of construction lines there. Give us a screenshot of the shaded model. It is hard to visualize what you are doing. If you want, send me your file and I'll look at it. I'm running version 2003. Just ask for my email address.

Most of your sketch is not fully defined anyway (lines will turn black when fully defined). That means that the sketch can still be dragged around into a different shape. Your tangents may look tangent, but are probably not defined that way, etc.etc...

Any newer release will read an older release. But not the other way around.

as said before, fully define the drawing (all lines to black), then you won't have any problems.

since you got the software for free, you could afford $40 for a training/tutorial CD (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
