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 Revolve feature.

Usage

  • Select one or more sketch geometry in the 3D view, then click on the tool or access it in the menu.
