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.
