Sketching Pre-Defined Profiles

The Sketcher workbench provides a set of functionalities for creating 2D geometry and more precisely pre-defined profiles.

Before you begin, make sure you are familiar with Tools For Sketching.

You can sketch pre-defined profiles either via the corresponding icons or via the menu bar (Insert > Operation > Predefined Profiles).

Creating Oriented Rectangles: Use the Sketch tools toolbar or click to define a first side for the rectangle and then a point corresponding to the rectangle length.
Creating Parallelograms: Use the Sketch tools toolbar or click to define a first side for the parallelogram and then a point corresponding to the parallelogram length.
Creating Elongated Hole: Use the Sketch tools toolbar or click two points to define the axis and then a point corresponding to the elongated hole width.
Creating Cylindrical Elongated Hole: Use the Sketch tools toolbar or click a point to define the center, two points to define the arc of circle as circular axis and then a point corresponding to the cylindrical elongated hole width.
Creating Keyhole Profiles: Use the Sketch tools toolbar or click to define the center to center axis and then both points corresponding to both radii.
Creating Hexagons: Use the Sketch tools toolbar or click to define the hexagon center and dimensions.
Creating Centered Rectangles: Use the Sketch tools toolbar to define the rectangle center and dimensions.
Creating centered Parallelograms: Use the Sketch tools toolbar to define a first side for the parallelogram and then a point corresponding to its length.
