Property Value

One of the benefits of adding sketch entities directly to the database is that you can avoid grid and entity snapping. For example, if you create a sketch line whose endpoint is near another entity or near a grid point, the new line endpoint snaps to the other item or grid point. Setting ISketchManager::AddToDB to true avoids this behavior during sketch entity creation.

ISketchManager::AddToDB and ISketchManager::DisplayWhenAdded also increase performance during sketch entity creation. ISketchManager::DisplayWhenAdded requires that ISketchManager::AddToDB is true.

If you want to constrain all the sketch entities after creation, use ISketch::ConstrainAll.

After setting ISketchManager::AddToDB to true, you must set it back to false to restore SOLIDWORKS to its normal operating mode.
