Select Mode (Select Entities for Editing) 
Access: Invoke the Sketcher, define the sketch plane and then invoke this function from the following location:
-
Click the Select button
in the Sketcher
toolbar.
Select entities.
Select previously created Sketcher entities for various operations, for example to edit the entities, break their constraints, or edit dimensions.
Note: For details of how to edit a sketch from within an external function (e.g. Extrude and Revolve) see Editing a Feature.
Select mode is the default working mode in the Sketcher. This means that if you are in another function (i.e. creating lines), pressing <exit><exit> will return you to Select mode.
While you are in Select mode, the cursor appears as a black pointer 
. Within the Select option you can:
- Break constraints with existing entities
- Delete entities
- Modify dimensions using the Sketcher Dimension dialog
- Modify slopes at the ends of a spline
- Move circles/arcs/ellipses
- Move lines
- Move points
- Move splines
- Move spline points
- Move the location of a dimension
- Pick a Loop of entities
- Resize circles/arcs/ellipses
- Resize lines
Notes:
-
Entities can be moved in Select mode, or you can use the Copy/Move & Rotate function or the Mirror function.
-
Select mode is not used for adding constraints to entities. For this you must use the Add Constraints function
. -
Editing is restricted by pre-existing constraints. An entity cannot be edited if underlying constraints do not permit. If required, you can break an entity's constraints to make it independent of all other entities.
