Description

This tool toggles sketch geometry from/to construction mode. It can be used on any type of geometry: line, arc or circle.

Sketcher Mode de Construction

Construction geometry is an important tool of the sketcher. When using a sketch for a 3D operation, construction geometry is ignored.

In sketch edit mode, construction geometry is shown as blue, and won't turn green when a sketch is fully constrained. Once you exit the sketch mode, construction geometry is hidden on the screen.

Construction lines can be used as rotation axis by the PartDesign Revolution feature.

Usage

  • Select one or more sketch geometry in the 3D view, then click on the tool or access it in the menu.
