To Create a Sketch

For this procedure, you use a polyline and an arc to create a sketch similar to the one shown above. Make sure you are working in the Assembly Modeling environment by choosing the Model tab in the Browser. If the Browser is not displayed, choose View > Display > Desktop Browser.



1. Choose Design > Polyline.
2. In the graphics area, click a start point for the sketch. Continue to click from point to point, forming the shape, until you reach the arc. Each time you click a point, you are prompted to specify the next point.



3. To draw the arc,
- Keeping the cursor in place in the drawing, enter a on the command line to create the arc, and then press ENTER.
- On the command line, enter d, and press ENTER again.
- Click the direction for the arc.

- Click the endpoint to complete the arc.

Good try!
