In a 3D sketch, just like in flat, we strive for complete redefinition (black sketch). Of course, there are exceptions to this, e.g. drawing wires with a spline, etc. To make drawing and parameterization easier, you can use a 3D sketch on a plane. Despite, there is a separate command for this, you might as well get the same effect by selecting the sketch tool before selecting it...
On the Sketch tab, next to arrays and relations there is a Move elements command. Most of you have probably used this using the rotate command, transfer or scale. Today I would like to show you the Stretch Elements option. This operation allows you to detach selected sketch elements and attach them elsewhere. You can move them along X coordinates, Y or w...
SOLIDWORKS has hidden functions for some tools. This is the case with the Crop Elements command, which also allows for extension, even though there is a separate operation for lengthening. But today I wanted to show, useful option. Well, in Advanced Crop mode, if you want to extend the sketch segment To next – cut it with Shift! However, if you grab the line traditionally....
An intersection curve is a form of sketch created at the intersection of walls, surface, objects with a plane or surface. The order and method of marking play an important role in the operation. Well, if you turn on the flat sketch on the plane and create an intersection, the resulting sketch will be a 2D sketch. But if you don't turn on the sketch first, and you will select an identical pair of faces and a plane – as a result...
A seemingly trivial thing – edge offset, but unconnected – if you mark it – preview disappears. As a result, it cannot be done all at once, so many people pull away in a few steps. This method is effective, but it has one major drawback – many control parameters are created. Now imagine that you need to change the offset, e.g. three...
