Introduction

In FreeCAD the word "Sketch" is normally used to refer to a Sketcher SketchObject (Sketcher::SketchObject class) that is created by the Sketcher Workbench.

How to use

There are two common ways to create a Sketch: using the Sketcher Workbench directly, or through the PartDesign Workbench.

Sketcher Workbench

  1. Switch to the Sketcher Workbench.
  2. Press Sketcher NewSketch.

PartDesign Workbench

  1. Switch to the PartDesign Workbench.
  2. Press PartDesign Body.
  3. Press PartDesign NewSketch.

See Sketcher SketchObject for more information about this type of object.

Notes

A Sketch is very commonly used in conjunction with the PartDesign Workbench to create solids.

Nevertheless, a Sketch can always be created by itself for any other purpose. It does not have to be tied to a PartDesign Body at all. For example, the Arch Window tool of the Arch Workbench uses Sketches to define the shapes of the windows and doors.
