Description

The Sketcher ReorientSketch tool places an existing sketch on one of the main planes with an optional offset. It can also be used to only detach a sketch.

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. Optionally press the Cancel button to only detach the sketch and finish the tool.
  6. 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
  7. Optionally change the Offset. The offset is measured along the global Z, Y or X axis.
  8. Press the OK button.
