Description

The Sketcher ReorientSketch tool places an existing sketch on one of the main planes with an optional offset.

Usage

  1. Select a sketch.
  2. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
  3. If the sketch is attached:
    1. The Sketch has support dialog opens.
    2. Press the Yes button to detach the sketch.
  4. The Choose orientation dialog opens.
  5. Specify the plane for the orientation:
    • If the Reverse direction checkbox is not checked:
      • Top: XY-Plane
      • Front: XZ-Plane
      • Right: YZ-Plane
    • If the Reverse direction checkbox is checked:
      • Bottom: XY-Plane
      • Rear: XZ-Plane
      • Left: YZ-Plane
  6. Optionally change the Offset. The offset is measured along the global Z, Y or X axis.
  7. Press the OK button.

Notes

  • When selecting Cancel in the second menu the sketch is simply detached from its face.
  • As long as no sketch is selected, the command is greyed out.
