The preferences for the [[Image:Workbench_Sketcher.svg|24px|link=Sketcher_Workbench]] [[Sketcher_Workbench|Sketcher Workbench]] can be found in the [[Preferences Editor|Preferences Editor]]. In the menu select {{MenuCommand|Edit → Preferences...}} and then {{MenuCommand|Sketcher}}.

There are four pages: [[#General|General]], [[#Grid|Grid]], [[#Display|Display]] and [[#Appearance|Appearance]].


This page has been updated for version 1.0.
The preferences screen of the [[Image:Workbench_Sketcher.svg|24px|link=Sketcher_Workbench]] [[Sketcher_Workbench|Sketcher Workbench]] are found in the [[Preferences Editor|Preferences Editor]], {{MenuCommand|Edit → Preferences → Sketcher}}.


In {{VersionMinus|0.21}} the [[#Appearance|Appearance]] page is labeled "Colors".
== v0.18.x ==


<span id="General"></span>
Below are Sketcher preferences available in v0.18.x.
==Основные==


[[Image:Preferences_Sketcher_Page_General.png|400px]]
There are two tabs: General, and Colors.


On the this page you can specify the following:
===General===


{| class="wikitable float-right mw-collapsible mw-uncollapsed"
In the ''General'' tab you can specify the following:
{| class="wikitable float-right mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
!style="width: 33%;"|Name
!style="width: 33%;"|Name
!style="width: 66%;"|Description
!style="width: 66%;"|Description
|-
|-
| {{MenuCommand|Font size}}
| {{MenuCommand|Show section 'Advanced solver control'}}
| If checked, the [[Sketcher_Dialog|sketcher dialog]] will show the section ''Advanced solver control'' to adjust solver settings.
| The font size used for the labels and constraints in the sketch.
|-
|-
| {{MenuCommand|Grid line pattern}}
| {{MenuCommand|Improve solving while dragging}}
| If checked, a special solver algorithm will be used while dragging sketch elements. This avoids that the sketch flips around while dragging. It is an improvement for most cases, however for complex sketches this option can increase the time to solve the sketch.
| The line pattern used for grid lines. Grid lines will be displayed if you set the option {{MenuCommand|Show grid}}.
|-
|-
| {{MenuCommand|Segments per geometry}}
| {{MenuCommand|Auto remove redundants}}
| If checked, new constraints that are redundant are automatically removed.
| Curves are approximated by polygon segments for visualization. The segments per geometry define the number of polygons for the approximation. The lower limit are 50 segments. Higher values refine the visualization but can lead to longer calculation times, especially for [[Sketcher_CreateBSpline|B-splines]].
|-
|-
| {{MenuCommand|Ask for value after creating a dimensional constraint}}
| {{MenuCommand|Esc can leave sketch edit mode}}
| If checked, the {{KEY|Esc}} key can trigger exiting sketch edit mode. The option to disable this may be useful for users who are used to pressing {{KEY|Esc}} as part of their workflow in other CAD solutions but don't necessarily want to exit a sketch.
| If checked, a dialog will pop up to input a value for new dimensional constraints.
|-
| {{MenuCommand|Geometry Creation "Continue Mode"}}
| If checked, the current sketcher creation tool will remain active after the creation. If you use for example the [[Sketcher_CreateLine|line tool]] [[Image:Sketcher_Line.svg|20px]], it will remain active after you created a line with it. You can leave the tool any time by right-clicking into the sketch.
|-
| {{MenuCommand|Constraint Creation "Continue Mode"}}
| If checked, the current constraint creation tool will remain active after the creation. If you use for example the [[Sketcher_ConstrainTangent|tangent tool]] [[Image:Constraint_Tangent.png|20px]], it will remain active after you created a constraint. You can leave the tool any time by right-clicking into the sketch.
|-
| {{MenuCommand|Hide base length units for supported unit systems}}
| If checked, base length units will not be displayed in the sketch constraints. The actual base length unit is the one of the selected [[Preferences_Editor#Units|unit system]].
|-
| {{MenuCommand|Hide all objects that depend on the sketch}}
| If checked, all features that depend the sketch will be hidden when the sketch is opened. Note that the effect of this option might not occur when using the option {{MenuCommand|Show objects used for external geometry}} and/or {{MenuCommand|Show object(s) sketch is attached to}}.
|-
| {{MenuCommand|Show objects used for external geometry}}
| If checked, all objects used for an external geometry will be shown. If you edit for example a sketch that uses the geometry of a pad, this pad will be shown (if not already). Other features in the model tree between the pad and the sketch will not necessarily be shown.
|-
| {{MenuCommand|Show object(s) sketch is attached to}}
| If checked, objects the sketch is attached to will be shown when the sketch is opened. If you attached for example a sketch to a pocket, this pocket will be shown (if not already). Otherwise you will only see the sketch if the pocket was not shown in advance.
|-
| {{MenuCommand|Restore camera position after editing}}
| If checked, the camera position is moved back to where it was before sketch was opened.
|-
| {{MenuCommand|Apply to existing sketches}}
| If pressed, the options in the preferences section ''Visibility automation'' will be applied to existing sketches too. Otherwise these settings will only be used for new sketches.
|-
|-
| {{MenuCommand|Notify automatic constraint substitutions}}
| {{MenuCommand|Notify automatic constraint substitutions}}
| If checked, you will be informed with a dialog about constraint substitutions. For example if the endpoints of two arcs are connected with the [[Sketcher_ConstrainCoincident|coincident constraint]] and you reconnect the arcs using the [[Sketcher_ConstrainTangent|tangent constraint]], the coincidence constraint will be substituted by the tangent constraint and you will get a popup dialog to telling you this.
| If checked, you will be informed with a dialog about constraint substitutions. For example if the endpoints of two arcs are connected with the [[Sketcher_ConstrainCoincident|coincident constraint]] and you reconnect the arcs using the [[Sketcher_ConstrainTangent|tangent constraint]], the coincidence constraint will be substituted by the tangent constraint and you will get a popup dialog telling you this.
|-
|-
| {{MenuCommand|Show Grid}}
| {{MenuCommand|Unify Coincident and PointOnObject}} {{Version|1.0}}
| If checked, the [[Sketcher_ConstrainCoincident|Coincident constraint tool]] and [[Sketcher_ConstrainPointOnObject|PointOnObject constraint tool]] are unified in a [[Sketcher_ConstrainCoincidentUnified|single tool]].
| If checked, a grid will be shown in the sketches.

{{Emphasis|After changing this preference you must restart FreeCAD.}}


This option and the following 5 preferences settings can also be specified only for single sketches in the [[Sketcher_Dialog#Edit_controls|sketcher dialog]] section ''Edit controls''.
|-
|-
| {{MenuCommand|Grid size}}
| {{MenuCommand|Auto tool for Horizontal/Vertical}} {{Version|1.0}}
| If checked, the [[Sketcher_ConstrainHorVer|Automatic horizontal/vertical constraint tool]] is added to the toolbar (it is always available in the menu and through its shortcut), and the [[Sketcher_ConstrainHorizontal|Horizontal constraint tool]] and [[Sketcher_ConstrainVertical|Vertical constraint tool]] are grouped below it in a dropdown.
| The distance between two subsequent grid lines. Note that the default value of 0 mm will result in a 10 mm grid.

{{Emphasis|After changing this preference you must restart FreeCAD.}}

|-
|-
| {{MenuCommand|Grid snap}}
| {{MenuCommand|Dimensioning constraints}} {{Version|1.0}}
| Specifies the dimensional constraint tools for the toolbar (all dimensional tools are always available in the menu and through their shortcuts). The options are:
| If checked, new points will snap to the nearest grid line. Note that the points have already to be close to a grid line that the snap takes effect. The distance is a fifth of the value set for {{MenuCommand|Grid size}}, so for a 10 mm grid, the snapping only occurs if the point is not more than 2 mm away from a grid line.
* {{MenuCommand|Single tool}}: A combined [[Sketcher_Dimension|Dimension tool]] for all dimensional constraints. The separate tools are grouped below it in a dropdown.
* {{MenuCommand|Separated tools}}: Only the separate tools.
* {{MenuCommand|Both}}: Both the combined [[Sketcher_Dimension|Dimension tool]] and the separated tools.

{{Emphasis|After changing this preference you must restart FreeCAD.}}


'''Note:''' A snapped point has no coincident constraint with the grid point it snapped to.
|-
|-
| {{MenuCommand|Auto constraints}}
| {{MenuCommand|Dimension tool diameter/radius mode}} {{Version|1.0}}
| Specifies how the combined [[Sketcher_Dimension|Dimension tool]] handles circles and arcs. The options are:
| If checked, the sketcher proposes automatically sensible constraints. If you draw for example a [[Sketcher_CreatePolyline|polyline]] [[Image:Sketcher_CreatePolyline.svg|20px]] and point towards the bottom, you will see that the sketcher proposes a vertical constraint:[[Image:Constraint_Vertical.svg|20px]]. If you set now a point the drawn line segment will get the vertical constraint.
* {{MenuCommand|Auto}}: First apply a radius dimension to arcs and a diameter dimension to circles. Before picking the point that will position the dimension, it is possible to switch with the {{KEY|M}} key.
* {{MenuCommand|Diameter}}: Always first apply a diameter dimension. Idem.
* {{MenuCommand|Radius}}: Always first apply a radius dimension. Idem.

|-
|-
| {{MenuCommand|Avoid redundant auto constraints}}
| {{MenuCommand|On-View-Parameters}} {{Version|1.0}}
| Specifies the visibility mode for the On-View-Parameters. The options are:
| If checked, the sketcher tries not to propose redundant auto constraints. This option only has an effect if also the option {{MenuCommand|Auto constraints}} is used.
* {{MenuCommand|Disabled}}: On-View-Parameters are completely disabled.
|-
* {{MenuCommand|Only dimensional}}: Only dimensional On-View-Parameters are enabled. They are the most useful. For example the radius of a circle.
| {{MenuCommand|Rendering order}}
* {{MenuCommand|All}}: Both dimensional and positional On-View-Parameters are enabled. Positional parameters are the position of the cursor. For example for the center of a circle.
| The order how sketches are rendered. To change it, drag and drop one of the geometries to the top or bottom.
|-
| {{MenuCommand|Show Advanced Solver Control in the Task bar}}
| If checked, the [[Sketcher_Dialog|sketcher dialog]] will have the additional section ''Advanced solver control'' to adjust solver settings.
|-
| {{MenuCommand|Improve solving while dragging}}
| If checked, a special solver algorithm will be used while dragging sketch elements. This avoids that the sketch flips around while dragging. It is an improvement for most cases, however for complex sketches this option can increase the time to solve the sketch.

|-
|-
| {{MenuCommand|Improve solving while dragging}}
| {{MenuCommand|Show coordinates beside cursor while editing}} {{Version|0.21}}
| If checked, cursor coordinates are displayed beside the cursor while editing a sketch.

[[Image:FreeCAD-v0.19-Sketcher-Preferences-Display.png]]

==Note==

There is another preference that has an influence on sketches. If the {{MenuCommand|Transparent objects}} preference on the [[Preferences_Editor#3D_View|Display → 3D View]] tab is set to {{Value|Backface pass}}, arrowheads on one end of sketch dimensions are hidden on some systems. When viewed from the rear the dimension value can then also be hidden. Versions 0.19 to 0.21 (except Link branch) are affected. In versions 0.19 and 0.20 the effect only occurs if {{MenuCommand|Show grid}} is deactivated in the [[Sketcher_Dialog#Edit_controls|Edit controls]] section of the [[Task_panel|Task panel]] as shown below.

See [https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?t=70975&start=10 forum topic].

The preferences for the Sketcher Workbench can be found in the Preferences Editor. In the menu select Edit → Preferences... and then Sketcher.

There are four pages: General, Grid, Display and Appearance.

This page has been updated for version 1.0.

In version 0.21 and below the Appearance page is labeled "Colors".

Основные

On the this page you can specify the following:

Name Description
Show section 'Advanced solver control' If checked, the sketcher dialog will show the section Advanced solver control to adjust solver settings.
Improve solving while dragging If checked, a special solver algorithm will be used while dragging sketch elements. This avoids that the sketch flips around while dragging. It is an improvement for most cases, however for complex sketches this option can increase the time to solve the sketch.
Auto remove redundants If checked, new constraints that are redundant are automatically removed.
Esc can leave sketch edit mode If checked, the Esc key can trigger exiting sketch edit mode. The option to disable this may be useful for users who are used to pressing Esc as part of their workflow in other CAD solutions but don't necessarily want to exit a sketch.
Notify automatic constraint substitutions If checked, you will be informed with a dialog about constraint substitutions. For example if the endpoints of two arcs are connected with the coincident constraint and you reconnect the arcs using the tangent constraint, the coincidence constraint will be substituted by the tangent constraint and you will get a popup dialog telling you this.
Unify Coincident and PointOnObject introduced in version 1.0 If checked, the Coincident constraint tool and PointOnObject constraint tool are unified in a single tool.

After changing this preference you must restart FreeCAD.

Auto tool for Horizontal/Vertical introduced in version 1.0 If checked, the Automatic horizontal/vertical constraint tool is added to the toolbar (it is always available in the menu and through its shortcut), and the Horizontal constraint tool and Vertical constraint tool are grouped below it in a dropdown.

After changing this preference you must restart FreeCAD.

Dimensioning constraints introduced in version 1.0 Specifies the dimensional constraint tools for the toolbar (all dimensional tools are always available in the menu and through their shortcuts). The options are:
  • Single tool: A combined Dimension tool for all dimensional constraints. The separate tools are grouped below it in a dropdown.
  • Separated tools: Only the separate tools.
  • Both: Both the combined Dimension tool and the separated tools.

After changing this preference you must restart FreeCAD.

Dimension tool diameter/radius mode introduced in version 1.0 Specifies how the combined Dimension tool handles circles and arcs. The options are:
  • Auto: First apply a radius dimension to arcs and a diameter dimension to circles. Before picking the point that will position the dimension, it is possible to switch with the M key.
  • Diameter: Always first apply a diameter dimension. Idem.
  • Radius: Always first apply a radius dimension. Idem.
On-View-Parameters introduced in version 1.0 Specifies the visibility mode for the On-View-Parameters. The options are:
  • Disabled: On-View-Parameters are completely disabled.
  • Only dimensional: Only dimensional On-View-Parameters are enabled. They are the most useful. For example the radius of a circle.
  • All: Both dimensional and positional On-View-Parameters are enabled. Positional parameters are the position of the cursor. For example for the center of a circle.

Grid

On the this page you can specify the following:

Name Description
Grid If checked, a grid will be shown while the sketch is in edit mode. Used for new sketches. Is stored in the ВидShow Grid property of sketches.
Grid Auto Spacing If checked, grid spacing is automatically adapted based on the view dimensions. Used for new sketches. Is stored in the ВидGrid Auto property of sketches.
Grid spacing The distance between two subsequent grid lines. Used as a base value if Grid Auto Spacing is enabled. Used for new sketches. Is stored in the ВидGrid Size property of sketches.
Pixel size threshold The grid spacing threshold in pixels. Only used if Grid Auto Spacing is enabled. If the onscreen spacing is smaller than this value, physical grid spacing is multiplied by the Major grid lines every value. If the onscreen spacing is larger than the threshold value times the every value, physical grid spacing is divided by the every value. If the every value is set to 1, 10 is used instead in these calculations.
Minor grid lines For minor grid lines you can specify:
  • Line pattern
  • Line width
  • Line color
Major grid lines For major grid lines you can specify:
  • Major grid lines every: The number of squares between major grid lines. Set to 1 to disable major grid lines.
  • Line pattern
  • Line width
  • Line color

Отображение

On the this page you can specify the following:

Name Description
Font size The font size used for the labels and constraints in the sketch.
View scale ratio introduced in version 0.21 The 3D view is scaled based on this factor.
Segments per geometry Curves are approximated by polygon segments for visualization. This value defines the number of segments. The lower limit is 50 segments. Higher values refine the visualization but can lead to longer calculation times, especially for B-splines.
Ask for value after creating a dimensional constraint If checked, a dialog will pop up to input a value for new dimensional constraints.
Geometry creation "Continue Mode" If checked, geometry creation tools will remain active after creating an element. You can leave a tool any time by right-clicking in the sketch.
Constraint creation "Continue Mode" If checked, constraint creation tools will remain active after creating a constraint. You can leave a tool any time by right-clicking in the sketch.
Hide base length units for supported unit systems If checked, the length unit from the selected unit system is used but not displayed in sketch constraints. Only for supported unit systems.
Show coordinates beside cursor while editing introduced in version 0.21 If checked, cursor coordinates are displayed beside the cursor while editing a sketch.
Use system decimals setting for cursor coordinates introduced in version 0.21 If checked, cursor coordinates will use the system decimals setting instead of the short form.
Show dimensional constraint name with format introduced in version 0.21 If checked, the names of dimensional constraints (if available) are displayed using the given format:
  • %N: Parameter name.
  • %V: Dimension value.
Hide all objects that depend on the sketch If checked, all objects that depend on the sketch will be hidden when the sketch is opened. Note that this may have no effect if the Show objects used for external geometry and/or Show objects that the sketch is attached to options are selected.
Show objects used for external geometry If checked, hidden objects used for external geometry will be shown when the sketch is opened.
Show objects that the sketch is attached to If checked, hidden objects the sketch is attached to will be shown when the sketch is opened.
Restore camera position after editing If checked, the camera position is moved back to where it was before the sketch was opened.
Force orthographic camera when entering edit If checked, camera mode will be forced to orthographic when the sketch is opened. Camera mode will be restored when leaving edit mode. This preference is only available if Restore camera position after editing is activated.
Open sketch in Section View mode If checked, the sketch will open with 'Section View' active.
Apply to existing sketches If pressed, the Visibility automation settings will be applied to existing sketches too. Otherwise they will only be used for new sketches.

Appearance

Unless otherwise stated these preferences are only used while a sketch is in edit mode.

On the this page you can specify the following:

Name Description
Creating line The color used for sketch elements while they are being created.
Coordinate text The color used for the coordinates displayed while creating sketch elements.
Cursor crosshair The color used for the crosshair cursor displayed while creating sketch elements.
Geometry introduced in version 1.0 The colors used for constrained and unconstrained normal geometry. The line pattern and line width can also be specified.
Construction geometry The colors used for constrained and unconstrained construction geometry. introduced in version 1.0: The line pattern and line width can also be specified.
Internal alignment edge The colors used for constrained and unconstrained internal alignment edges. introduced in version 1.0: The line pattern and line width can also be specified.
External geometry The color used for external geometry. introduced in version 1.0: The line pattern and line width can also be specified.
Fully constrained Sketch The color used for a fully constrained sketch.
Invalid Sketch The color used for an invalid sketch.
Constraint symbols The color used for driving geometric constraints.
Dimensional constraint The color used for driving dimensional constraints.
Reference constraint The color used for reference dimensional constraints.
Expression dependent constraint The color used for expression dependent dimensional constraints.
Deactivated constraint The color used for deactivated constraints.
Colors outside Sketcher: Vertex The color used for vertices (points) when not in edit mode.
Colors outside Sketcher: Edge The color used for edges when not in edit mode.

The colors for selections while a sketch is in edit mode are controlled by the global settings Enable preselection highlighting and Enable selection highlighting, see the Preferences Editor.

Note

There is another preference that has an influence on sketches. If the Transparent objects preference on the Display → 3D View tab is set to Backface pass, arrowheads on one end of sketch dimensions are hidden on some systems. When viewed from the rear the dimension value can then also be hidden. Versions 0.19 to 0.21 (except Link branch) are affected. In versions 0.19 and 0.20 the effect only occurs if Show grid is deactivated in the Edit controls section of the Task panel as shown below.

See forum topic.

Front view, grid enabled and grid disabled

Rear view, grid enabled and grid disabled hiding arrowheads on the opposite end as well as the dimension value
