Draw Toolbar

Sketch tools such as Line, Rectangle, and so on, on the Sketch toolbar can be used in drawings, but generally are used in part sketches to create features. Most annotations on the Annotation toolbar , such as Notes, can be added in parts or assemblies and then inserted automatically into drawings. Some annotations, such as Center marks, are available only in drawings.
