Create a Sketch Geometry

If your default template does not open in sketch mode:

1. In the browser, expand the Origin folder.
2. Select the XY Plane browser node.
3. On the ribbon, click 3D Model tab Sketch panel Create 2D Sketch .
   

   Next, draw a rectangle:

4. Click Sketch tab Draw panel Rectangle .
   
5. Approximate the rectangle as shown in the following image.
   

   Notice that tabs are subdivided into panels. For example, the sketch commands you use for drawing geometry are grouped on the Draw panel; the panel subdivisions group functionally related commands.
