Description

The Sketcher SwitchVirtualSpace tool either transfers constraints from one virtual space to the other or switches the visible virtual space.

The FreeCAD Sketcher has two virtual spaces that can contain constraints. Usually all constraints are added in the same virtual space and they can be moved to the other virtual space to help to inspect only a few constraints at a time.

Usage

To move constraints to the other virtual space:

  1. Select constraints you want to move.
  2. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
    • Press the Switch virtual space button.
    • Select the Sketch → Sketcher visual → Switch virtual space option from the menu.

To switch the virtual space:

  1. Make sure you have no constraint selected.
  2. Invoke the tool like described above.

Note: if you decide to set constraints on the second virtual space, don't forget about them later on if you don't see them in the 3D view.
