Sketching on planes and faces

Every part starts as a flat sketch, on a plane or on a face of the part.

1. 1

   Pick where to draw

   Tap Sketch, then a plane: Top, Front or Right. Once there is a solid, you can tap any flat face of it to sketch right on that face. That is how you put a hole in a side or a letter on a top.

   The drawing tools

   The rail on the left holds the tools. Some share a slot; touch and hold the slot to switch.

   • Line or Polyline
   • Circle or Arc
   • Rectangle or Polygon
   • Text
   • Distance, Area and Point, for measuring
   • Move, Duplicate, Rotate, Offset, Trim, Extend, Fillet and Erase

   Closed shapes become profiles

   A shape that closes up, like a rectangle or a circle, is a profile. Profiles are what you push into 3D. Tap Finish Sketch when you are done drawing.
