Please note that this tool is not used to create new sketches. It only maps, or remaps an existing sketch to the face of a solid or a PartDesign feature. Typical use cases are:
* The sketch was created on a standard plane (XY, XZ, YZ) and you want to map it to the face of a solid in order to build a feature upon it.
* The sketch was created on a standard plane (XY, XZ or YZ) and you want to attach it to the face of a solid in order to build a new feature upon it.
* The sketch was mapped on a specific face of a solid but you need to map it to a different face.
* The sketch was attached to a specific face of a solid but you need to attached it to a different face.
* Repairing a broken model.
* A broken model needs to be repaired.

Description

The Sketcher MapSketch tool (re)attaches an existing sketch to selected geometry. It can also be used to detach a sketch.

Typical use cases are:

  • The sketch was created on a standard plane (XY, XZ or YZ) and you want to attach it to the face of a solid in order to build a new feature upon it.
  • The sketch was attached to a specific face of a solid but you need to attached it to a different face.
  • A broken model needs to be repaired.

Usage

  1. Select an object with a shape, or one or more vertices, edges, and/or faces, and/or a plane.
  2. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
    • Press the Map sketch to face... button.
    • Select the Sketch → Map sketch to face... option from the menu.
  3. The Select sketch dialog opens.
  4. Select a sketch from the dropdown list.
  5. Press the OK button.
  6. The Sketch attachment dialog opens.
  7. Select the attachment method from the dropdown list. Or select Don't attach to detach the sketch.
  8. Press the OK button.
