Options
Sketch Positioning
When you create sketches, you can choose to create either Sliding or Positioned sketches. When you edit a sketch, a third option is available. Choosing Isolated removes all Positioning, Origin, and Orientation references. The sketch does not move from its current position in space, nor will it update if the original reference objects are moved. This option is most commonly used to help fix sketches that are causing errors, and it is recommended to re-associate the sketch afterwards, using either the Sliding or Positioned methods.
Tips
• You can also right-click on a selected sketch in the Specification Tree to display the pop-up menu. You can access the properties and the sketch support from this menu.
