To Edit Sketch Geometry

Resize or remove geometry or create geometry using precise input.

Resize Unconstrained Geometry

• Select the geometry and drag any point or curve to change its size or shape.

Remove or Delete Geometry

• Do any of the following:
  • Click Undo in the Quick Access Toolbar to remove line segments and arcs one at a time, in reverse order.
  • Right-click a point or segment and choose Undo.
  • Select individual curves and press Delete.

Create 2D Geometry Using Precise Input

1. In Create panel of the ribbon, select the Line, Helical Curve, Arc, Spline, or Point tool to make it active.
2. Expand the panel and select Precise Input.
3. In the Precise Input mini-toolbar, enter X, Y, and Z coordinates and press Enter.
4. At any time, click Reposition Triad to move the triad to the specified coordinates. Or, click Reset to Origin to move the coordinate triad to the origin point of the sketch (0,0,0).
5. Select Relative to specify the distance from the last point or Absolute to specify the precise X, Y, and Z coordinates.
6. To quit, right-click and choose Close.

Create 3D Geometry Using Precise Input

1. In Create panel of the ribbon, select the Line, Helical Curve, Arc, Spline, or Point tool to make it active.
2. Expand the panel and select Precise Input.
3. In the Precise Input mini-toolbar, enter X, Y, and Z coordinates and press Enter.
4. At any time, click Reset to Origin to move the coordinate triad to the origin point of the sketch (0,0,0). Or, click Reposition Triad to move the triad to the specified coordinates.
5. Select Relative to specify the distance from the last point or Absolute to specify the precise X, Y, and Z coordinates.
6. To quit, right-click and choose Close.

View or Change Geometry Properties

Note: Part/Assembly/Flat pattern sketches maintain the properties specified in the Geometry Properties dialog box (i.e. line type, scale, line color and line weight) when exported as an AutoCAD DWG file.

1. Right-click any geometry in the graphics window and choose Properties.
2. Change any of the available properties, including Line Color, Line Type, Scale, Line Weight.
   Note: Note: In the Geometry Properties dialog box, line type refers to the graphical style of the line – solid, dashed, dotted, and so on – not to regular vs. construction geometry.
3. Click Apply to make a change and continue editing properties, or click OK to make the change and close the Geometry Properties dialog box.
4. To restore default property settings, click Show Format in the Format panel.
