Select a face/datum plane and enter a offset distance to define a sketch plane offset from the selected face/datum plane. Select a Face and a Point to define a sketch plane that will be parallel to the face at the specified point.

Select 3-points to define the sketch plane that will pass through these points. Select this option to reference a point on existing geometry or a point in space/scene. Available placement options to define the location of the 2D Shape/Sketch plane. Select this option to select an existing Structure Part in the scene if this part was not set as active before entering the 2D Shape command.ĢD Sketch Placement Type. Structured Parts allow 2D Shapes to be placed under the part history structure. Available when there are no active parts in the scene. Options Within The 2D Sketch Placement Command Browser

Select Finish on the Sketch Fluent Ribbon Bar or on the Edit-Cross Section dialog in the Toolbar UI.

Select Ok to finish the placement settings (or this will automatically complete if the option is set).

Use the Placement Settings to define the location of the sketch.

This will create a plane on the X, Y, or Z global plane or on Active Parts at the X, Y, or Z origin location.

Alternatively, Select the Create 2D Shape X/Y/Z Plane option.

Select the 2D Shape Command on the Sketch Fluent Ribbon Bar.

This is useful to build design intent into the sketch placement to update based on changes to the previous model history structure. This fully associates the sketch plane to the placement location and modifications to the placement locations will update the sketch placement. This plane is not associated to any placement option and will not change based on modification to the placement locations.įor Structured Parts, options are available to fix the sketch plane to the placement references. You can use the TriBall positioning tool to modify this location after the sketch plane is created. When creating a 2D Shape/Sketch in the scene, you will be given available placement options to define the location of the sketch plane.įor Innovative Parts, these placement options are used just for defining the sketch original location. 2D Sketch Creating and Placement Settings
