Description
The Sketcher Extend tool extends a line or an arc to an arbitrary location, or to a target edge or point.
Shown on the left (1), the two sketch elements before the operation; in the middle (2), the line is being extended to the arc; to the right (3), the final result.
Usage
- There are several ways to invoke the tool:
- Press the Sketcher Extend edge button.
- Select the Sketcher → Sketcher geometries → Extend edge option from the menu.
- Right-click in the 3D view and select the Extend edge option from the context menu.
- Use the keyboard shortcut: G then Q.
- If there is a previous selection it is cleared. The tool does not accept a pre-selection.
- The cursor changes to a white cross with the tool icon.
- Select a line or an arc.
- Move the cursor toward the direction to extend.
- Do one of the following:
- Click an arbitrary point.
- To extend to another edge: Place the cursor over the target edge. When it is highlighted and the Point on object constraint icon appears besides the cursor, click to confirm. A point on object constraint is added.
- To extend to a point: Place the cursor over the target point. when it is highlighted and the Coincident constraint icon appears besides the cursor, click to confirm. A coincident constraint is added.
- If the tool runs in continue mode:
- Optionally keep extending edges.
- To finish, click in an empty area in the 3D view, right-click or press Esc, or start a another constraints or geometries tool.
Notes
- Only arcs and lines can be extended at this time.
- The target edge or point may be modified as well if it is not fully constrained.
