Sketch Operations


See full-size image

Overview: Sketch operations allow you to quickly modify sketch geometry. Operations include Chamfer, Corner, Relimitations, and

Transformations.

Corner and Chamfer



Corner and Chamfers are basic engineering corners, fillets, and chamfers.

Corner creates them by letting you pick the lines to modify and requesting a radius value.
Chamfer creates them by letting you pick the lines to modify and requesting length and angle values.
Relimitations



Relimitations include Trim, Break, Quick Trim, Close and Complement.
Trim and Quick Trim allow you to quickly extend or trim lines to existing geometry.

Break separates a line or arc into separate entities.
Close allows you to close an arc into a circle.

Complement reverses an arc's geometry.

Transformation



Transformations include Mirror, Symmetry, Translate, Rotate, Scale, and Offset.

Mirror transforms geometry about a reference line or axis. The mirrored geometry keeps a link to the original curves, meaning that by modifying the original curves, the mirrored

geometry updates as well.
Symmetry produces the same sketch geometry, but does not retain the original sketch geometry.
Translate moves or copies geometry to a new location.
Rotate moves or copies geometry to a new angular location.

Scale increases or decreases the size of the geometry relative to a reference point.
Offset creates a copy of the geometry at a specified value.
