Apply dimensions and relations calculated by the SolidWorks application to fully define sketches or selected sketch entities.
Entities to Fully Define
| All entities in sketch |
Fully defines the sketch by applying combinations of relations and dimensions. |
| Selected entities |
Applies relations and dimensions only to specific sketch entities that you select for Entities to Fully Define. |
| Calculate |
Analyzes the sketch and generates the appropriate relations and dimensions. |
Relations
| Select Relations to Apply |
|
Select All
|
Includes all relations in the results.
|
|
Deselect All
|
Omits all relations in the results.
|
|
| Individual relations |
Include or exclude those relations from the results. For example:
 Include horizontal relations
 Exclude horizontal relations
|
In some sketches only certain relations and dimensions can fully define the sketch. Limiting your selection may prevent the sketch from being fully defined.
| In this sketch, no relations were allowed. It cannot be fully defined. |
