Sketching

Contents

• Cap Ends for Offset Entities
  

  You can create cap ends while using the Offset Entities tool to offset open loop, one-directional sketch entities in 2D sketches, for arc and line Cap end types.

• Converting Entities with Internal Loops
  

  You can convert an entity's internal loops or entities of a model face automatically with the Select all inner loops option of the Convert Entities tool.

• Equal Curve Length Parametric Relations
  

  You can apply equal curve length relations between any two entities such as a line, spline, arc, or circle, depending on the type of entity.

• Instant2D for Changing Sketch Dimensions
  

  You can use Instant2D to dynamically manipulate sketch dimensions in sketch mode. You can click a dimension and quickly edit its values without clicking Rebuild to reset the geometry.

• Preselection of Entities for Smart Dimensioning
  

  You can preselect sketch entities, then use the Smart Dimension tool to add dimensions to the entities.

• Reversing Sketch Offsets
  

  You can reverse the direction of offset sketch entities with the Reverse Direction functionality.

• Segment Tool
  

• Selecting Midpoints with Dynamic Highlighting
  

  You can dynamically highlight and select midpoints on sketch entities and model edges to add relations. You can also dynamically highlight and select midpoints of sketch entities while dimensioning in sketches.

• Show or Hide Sketch Dimensions
  

  You can show or hide 2D and 3D sketch dimensions with the View Sketch Dimensions functionality.

• Style Spline Support for B-Splines
  

  You can create B-Splines of 3º, 5º, or 7º with the Style Spline tool. You can adjust the smoothness of the curve by manipulating the degree of the curve.

• Unmerging Sketch Endpoints with Detach Segment on Drag
  

  You can unmerge sketch entity endpoints with Detach Segment on Drag.

• Improvement in Large Sketch Performance
