Sketches

Rectangle and Circle sketches

Rectangle and Circle create sketch/reference geometry on a solid face or the active sketch plane. They are useful for planning geometry and sketch-driven workflows.

Face-based sketch construction and reference geometry

Step by step

  1. Choose Rectangle or Circle.
  2. Pick the target solid face or active sketch plane.
  3. Define the shape using the command's placement points/dimensions.
  4. Use the resulting sketch geometry as a construction/reference input where supported.

Plane awareness

The sketch uses the current face/plane orientation instead of forcing every shape onto world XY.

Keep in mind

  • Use OSNAP when starting a sketch from an existing model feature so later changes begin from a known reference.
