Translations:Sketcher Workbench/2/en

The FreeCAD Sketcher Workbench is used to create 2D Sketches intended for use in the  PartDesign Workbench,  Arch Workbench, and other workbenches. Generally, a 2D drawing is considered the starting point for most CAD models, as a 2D sketch can be "extruded" to create a 3D shape; further 2D sketches can be used to create other features like pockets, ridges, or extrusions on top of the previously built 3D shapes. Together with boolean operations defined in the Part Workbench, the Sketcher forms the basis of the constructive solid geometry (CSG) method of building solids. Moreover, together with the PartDesign Workbench operations, the Sketcher also forms the basis of the feature editing methodology of creating solids.
