This will create a new sketch.

Clicking on the icon without a face (pre-)selected will pop up a dialog asking if the sketch should be drawn on the

You can change an offset to any of the three planes and the side of the offset.

Clicking on the icon with a (pre-selected) face will cause the sketch to be mapped to the selected face.

The sketch can be re-mapped to another already existing face using the Map Sketch - Command

The sketch can be moved in the 3D-Space using Placement.
