NOTE To delete individual sketch curves, edit the sketch, select the curve, and
then press Delete.
You can remove dimensional constraints from a sketch, and allow the sketch
to resize as needed. Parts with adaptive features resize in when they are
constrained to fixed geometry.
Workflow overview: Delete sketch dimensions
1 Right-click the sketch in the browser and choose Edit Sketch.
2 Click the Select tool.
3 Right-click the dimension in the graphics window and select Delete.
NOTE If the sketch is part of a feature, click Update after you delete dimensions.
You can delete a sketch pattern or suppress selected elements of a sketch
pattern.
Workflow overview: Delete sketch patterns
1 In the browser, select the sketch, right-click and then select Edit Sketch.
2 Select the sketch pattern geometry to delete.
3 Right-click and select an option. The selection options are determined
by selected geometry:
■ Non pattern geometry: Click Delete to remove the selected geometry.
■ Pattern geometry: Select Delete Pattern to remove the entire pattern
or Suppress Elements to suppress selected pattern geometry.
■ Non pattern and pattern geometry: Select Delete to remove non
pattern geometry, and select Delete Pattern to remove the entire
pattern, or select Suppress Elements to suppress selected pattern
geometry.
Learning about 3D Sketches
You are now familiar with sketching in 2D because it is much like sketching
on paper. You can also sketch in 3D, connecting points on X, Y, and Z planes
to create a three-dimensional shape. A 3D sketch provides a way to create a
path for 3D sweep features, such as those used in wiring, cabling, and tubing.
