Moving Shapes on Workspace

I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong, but when I move any shape that has design components attached to them those components do not move with the shape.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Geometry does not stay associated with the 3D component(s) which it is used to make.

Moving the geometry after making the 3D component will not move it.

You need to have the geometry positioned where you want the 3D component to be made when you do the 3D modeling.

Are there any plans on changing this? You can never think of every aspect when you’re designing something from scratch so when you think of something else like scaling not moving the geometry is a hassle when you have to redo everything down to the frame of the shape.

I suspect that changing this would be either very complex, or would have drastic performance implications.

Usually folks work up a finished 2D design, then model in 3D, so that only the height/depth is adjusted.

I don’t see how that is useful considering you cannot see a full model (two sided) in the same view. To do a top and bottom you need to create two different files, so when you are designing the top, maybe there was an issue that couldn’t have been anticipated. All one is doing is flip flopping from file to file another to get something right. A lot of extra workflow.
