Re: Rotation about LCS and Dataplanes

It is a tutorial, it describes principles. It requires some extension on the part of the reader, not unusual for such.

There is a typo above, here is the page Basic Attachment Tutorial

After it worked through, I can answer any queries.

Re: Sketcher: how to tell which virtual space is active?

Agree, the button should be shaded/different colour dependent on state.

Re: Pattern a pattern; basic fence model

3D CAD requires a little thought, a bit more and there can be a post at the end also.

I leave that to the student.

Re: Copy and position sketch to do additive pipe

Why do you make things harder than they need to be?

Place the first sketch carefully around the origin, centred is usually the best, then use symmetry to advantage.
