Description
This tool toggles sketch geometry from/to construction mode. It can be used on any type of geometry: line, arc or circle.
Construction geometry is an important tool of the sketcher. When using a sketch for a 3D operation, construction geometry is ignored.
In sketch edit mode, construction geometry is shown as blue, and won't turn green when a sketch is fully constrained. Once you exit the sketch mode, construction geometry is hidden on the screen.
Note: starting with v0.13, construction lines can be used as rotation axis by the PartDesign Revolution feature.
Usage
- Select one or more sketch geometry in the 3D view, then click on the tool or access it in the menu.
Example
-
Use Construction mode change your sketches, and
-
once your finished sketch, sketch and leaving the forms used in construction mode, have become invisible to the screen (but are still present in the Sketcher)
