Sketcher in Drafting

The Cimatron Sketcher is the graphic environment used to create sketches - 2D parametric geometry. The 2D geometry can then be used elsewhere in Cimatron's hybrid environment, such as in Part Modeling functions or in NC. The Sketcher is a powerful, yet intuitive, tool enabling you to create and modify entities in relation to each other.

The Sketcher allows you to create 2D geometries for each drawing sheet. The sketch can be added to a drawing sheet or under a view.

Note: Only one sketch can be created under a view.

Various line colors, styles and widths can be selected from the Line Attributes toolbar . These attributes are selected before entering the Sketcher or while selecting the sketch in the graphic area.

A sketch can be treated like a geometry in every respect. If it is placed on the Drawing Tree as an item belonging to an entity, it behaves as if it were part of the geometry.

Deleting the sketch on the sheet will delete all attached geometries.

Note: If View is selected from the selection filter, the new definitions will not be applied. An entire view can only be changed in the View attributes dialog.
