- Arcs
- Belt/Chain PropertyManager (Sketch Blocks)
Use the Belt/Chain tool (Blocks toolbar) to create layout sketches for pulleys or sprocket mechanisms.
- Circles
- Ellipses
Use the Ellipse tool to create a complete ellipse. Use the Partial Ellipse tool to create an elliptical arc.
- Sketching Lines
- Centerlines
Use centerlines to create symmetrical sketch elements and revolved features, or as construction geometry. You can create multiple radial or diametric dimensions without selecting the centerline each time.
- Sketching Infinite Lines
- Midpoint Line
You can create a line that is symmetrical from the midpoint of the line.
- Line Properties PropertyManager - 2D
Controls the following properties of a sketched 2D line.
- Insert Line PropertyManager - 2D
Enables you to sketch multiple 2D lines. For each 2D line you sketch, you can select different combinations of settings under Orientation, Options, or Parameters.
- Sketching Parabolas
- Conics
The Conic tool lets you sketch conic curves driven by endpoints and Rho value. Depending on the Rho value, the curve can be elliptical, parabolic, or hyperbolic.
- Sketching Points
Insert points into sketches and drawings.
- Arc and Circle Segments
You can use the Segment tool to create equal length segments in arcs and circles.
- Equidistant Points and Segments
You can create equidistant points or segments in sketch entities.
- Sketching Polygons
Create equilateral polygons with any number of sides between 3 and 40.
- Equation Driven Curves
- Using RapidSketch
RapidSketch allows you to select planar faces or planes, and with any sketch tool active, start to sketch. As you move to each planar face, a plane is created and a sketch is opened. You can change sketch tools midstream.
- Rectangles
- Slots
- Sketch Text
Sketch text on any set of continuous curves or edges (including circles or profiles made up of lines, arcs, or splines on the face of a part) and extrude or cut the text.
- Link to Property
You can link the value of a document property, a custom property, or a configuration-specific property to a text entity in a sketch. You can also link a property to rows of a table or BOM. If the value of the property changes, the linked text changes automatically.
