The [[Image:Sketcher_MapSketch.svg|24px]] [[Sketcher_MapSketch|Sketcher MapSketch]] tool attaches a sketch to selected geometry.
Please note that this tool is not to be 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.
Typical use cases are:
* The sketch was mapped on a specific face of a solid but you need to map it to a different face.

Description

The Sketcher MapSketch tool attaches a sketch to selected geometry.

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 Attach sketch... button.
    • Select the Sketch → Attach sketch... option from the menu.
  3. The Select sketch dialog opens.
  4. Select a sketch from the dropdown list.
