- Automatic Tangency for Conics
Auto Tangency accelerates the process of sketching a conic curve.
- Maintaining Proportions in a Sketch Profile
When you specify the first dimension in a sketch for parts or assemblies, all entities in the sketch profile automatically scale uniformly based on the dimension.
- Path Length Dimension
You can set a path length dimension to a chain of sketch entities. You can set the dimension to be a driving dimension, so that when you drag the entities, the path length resizes consistently.
- Replace Sketch Entities
The Replace Sketch Entity command lets you replace one sketch entity with another without breaking downstream references (unless the downstream reference requires a different type of geometry, such as mates). For example, if you replace a line with a spline, downstream features that reference faces created by that spline, will rebuild successfully.
- Sketch Equations
You can specify sketch dimensions using equations instead of discrete values. The equations solve automatically as you drag the sketch geometry.
- Sketch Picture Scale Tool
The Sketch Picture tool provides a scale tool that lets you easily and accurately position bitmap images in sketch planes and scale them to fit.
- Splines
- Using Stick Fonts
You can use stick fonts when applying sketch text to parts or assemblies for laser engraving, water jet, and for Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining.
