automatic creation of relations
im starting a project for my final year of undergraduate beng and i'm doing a project based around automation of design using genetic algorithms...
i have created api code to create the specified design, based on the geometry in each algorithm (in this case a bell-crank), but part of the code automatically creates a vertical relation with the centre of a circle i have drawn. this causes the tangential relation i later add to over-define the sketch...
my question is simple! is there any way to disable sw automatically creating constraints like this at run-time apart from the ones i create myself?
regards,
andi

andi,
look at sldworks::setuserpreferencetoggle and the user preference value swsketchautomaticrelations.
