Before you begin, make sure you are
familiar with Tools For Sketching. The Sketcher workbench provides a set of functionalities for performing operations on profiles. Note that you can either click on a profile or use the Sketch tools toolbar. |
|
Creating Corners: Creates a rounded corner (arc tangent to two curves) between two lines using trimming operation. | |
Creating Chamfers: Creates a chamfer between two lines using trimming operation. | |
Trimming Elements: Trims two lines (either one element or all the elements) | |
Trimming Multiple Elements: Trims a few elements using a curve type element. | |
Breaking & Trimming: Quickly deletes elements intersected by other Sketcher elements using breaking and trimming operation. | |
Closing Elements: Closes circles, ellipses or splines using relimiting operation. | |
Complementing an Arc (circle or ellipse): Creates a complementary arc. | |
Breaking Elements: Breaks a line using a point on the line and then a point that does not belong to the line. | |
Creating Mirrored Elements: Duplicates existing Sketcher elements using a line, a construction line or an axis. | |
Moving Elements by Symmetry: Moves existing Sketcher elements using a line, a construction line or an axis. | |
Translating Elements: Performs a translation on 2D elements by defining the duplicate mode and then selecting the element to be duplicated. Multi-selection is not available. | |
Rotating Elements: Rotates elements by defining the duplicate mode and then selecting the element to be duplicated. | |
Scaling Elements: Scales elements by defining the duplicate mode and then selecting the element to be duplicated. | |
Offsetting Elements: Scales an entire profile. In other words, you are going to resize a profile to the dimension you specify. | |
Offsetting Elements: Duplicates a line, arc or circle type element. | |
Projecting 3D Elements onto the Sketch Plane : Projects edges (elements you select in the Part Design workbench) onto the sketch plane. | |
Creating Silhouette Edges: Creates silhouette edges to be used in sketches as geometry or reference elements. | |
Intersecting 3D Elements with the Sketch Plane: Intersects a face and the sketch plane. | |
Copying/pasting Elements: Explains how sketched elements behave when copying/pasting elements that were created via projection or intersection. | |
Isolating Projected/Intersected Elements: Isolates the elements resulting from the use of Project 3D Elements or Intersect 3D Elements . | |
Performing a Quick Geometry Diagnosis: Displays a quick diagnosis of a sketch geometry. | |
Analyzing the Sketch: Displays a global or individual status on the sketch and correct any problem. | |
Creating Output Features: Creates an output of a selected sketch which can be published and updated independently in the 3D area. | |
Creating Profile Features: Creates a feature made of a set of curves, connected or not and made independent from the other elements defined in the same sketch. |
