3D Sketch Plane PropertyManager
Add planes to 3D sketches to facilitate sketching and adding relations
between sketch entities. Once you add the plane, activate
it to view its properties and to create a sketch.
Use 3D Sketch
to open a sketch on the default Front
plane in Isometric view. Use 3D Sketch on Plane 
to
open a sketch on a pre-selected plane in Normal
to view.
To add a 3D sketch plane:
Click 3D Sketch
(Sketch toolbar) or Insert,
3D Sketch.
Click Plane
(Sketch toolbar) or Tools,
Sketch Entities, Plane
to display the Sketch Plane PropertyManager.
The available relations displayed
under First, Second,
and Third Reference
are based on existing geometry.
- or -
Select a plane from
the FeatureManager design tree, and click 3D
Sketch on Plane (Sketch toolbar) or Insert,
3D Sketch on Plane to display
the Properties PropertyManager.
Create a sketch.
To add a plane using references:
With existing geometry, you can add a plane
by referencing the entities that are present. You can use any number of
references required to achieve the desired results.
First Reference |
|
Select a sketch entity or another plane as the
reference to position the 3D sketch plane. Select a relation. |
If you use a 3D sketch plane to create the
sketch, you cannot select that plane as a reference.
Second Reference |
|
If required, select a sketch entity or another
plane as the reference to position the 3D sketch plane. Select a relation. |
Third Reference |
 |
If required, select a sketch entity or another
plane as the reference to position the 3D sketch plane. Select a relation. |
Click 
to close the PropertyManager
and return to the Properties PropertyManager.
