Description

This will create a new sketch.

Usage

Clicking on the icon without a face (pre-)selected will pop up a dialog asking if the sketch should be drawn on the

  • XY-Plane
  • XZ-Plane
  • YZ-Plane

You can change an offset to any of the three planes and the side of the offset.

Clicking on the icon with a (pre-selected) face will cause the sketch to be mapped to the selected face.

Note

The sketch can be re-mapped to another already existing face using the Map Sketch - Command

The sketch can be moved in the 3D-Space using Placement.
