# Sketch
# 2D sketch
# Optimize sketch line display
To make it easier to distinguish sketch lines from dimension lines, the default width of sketch lines has been adjusted from 0.25mm to 0.5mm.
This adjustment takes effect only for the color scheme preset by the system and will not affect your custom scheme.
You can make custom adjustments in "System Settings - System Options - Colors - Sketch Drawing Settings -" Sketch Line Width ".
# Look squarely at the sketch features
Right-click the sketch in the viewport or feature panel, add the "Face on" 
command to the menu, click this command to face the sketch.
When you have already faced the sketch, click the "Face on" command again to reverse face on the sketch.
# Insert picture
Insert pictures are supported in 2D sketches for contrast drawing or as a reference.
- Support png,jpg,jpeg,bmp format pictures.
- Only one image can be inserted at a time.
- The inserted picture is not associated with the picture in your project or locally to your computer.
How to insert：
1）Go to 2D sketch.
2）Click the [Insert Picture] 
command in the sketch module.
3）Import a picture in the dialog box or select an existing picture in your project.
4）Click Apply. The picture is inserted 1:1 to the sketch origin and automatically enters the editing state.
5）Change the size and position of the picture by modifying the parameters in the dialog box or dragging the picture TAB. The changes take effect immediately.
6）Click the "Close" button to finish inserting the picture.
How to edit：
1）Double click on the picture. A dialog box will pop up with a control label displayed around the picture.
2）Change the size and position of the picture by modifying the dialog box parameters or dragging the picture TAB. The changes take effect immediately.
3）Click the "Close" button to finish editing.
How to delete：
Method 1: Right-click the picture, select "Delete", confirm and delete.
Method 2: Left click on the picture, press delete, confirm and delete.
Transparency：Control the transparent area of the picture.
- None: The picture is not transparent overall.
- From file: For pictures that contain transparent information, such as PNG, the transparent area recorded in the picture appears as transparent.
- Full image: Controls the transparency of the picture as a whole, with 0 being completely opaque and 100 being completely transparent.
# Direct reference with datum level
The reference plane perpendicular to the plane of the sketch is supported in the sketch, and the projection line of the datum plane in the sketch is used as the external reference line.
The datum surface can be used as a reference function: adding constraints, marking dimensions, mirroring axes.
Example：
1）Go to sketch.
2）Pick up the datum in the viewport and hold down ctrl to pick up one more sketch line.
3）In the dialog box that pops up, you can add "Parallel, Vertical, Collinear" constraints for the datum and the selected sketch line.
4）For example, add a "parallel" constraint, then the selected datum remains parallel between the projected line in the sketch and the selected sketch line.
# Double click on the feature to edit the associated sketch size
Double-click the feature in the feature panel to display the feature and its associated sketch size in the viewport. Click the size to modify it directly.
This function is controlled through the "System Settings - System options - Sketch - Double click feature edit size" option.
| The "Double Click Feature Edit Size" option checks the status | Double Click Feature Effect | Double click Sketch effect |
|---|---|---|
| Tick | Show the dimensions of the feature and feature association sketch | Show sketch dimensions, will not enter Edit sketch state |
| Unchecked | Only feature sizes are displayed | Go to Edit sketch state |
Note 1：In the size display state, click anywhere in the viewport or list to turn off the displayed size.
Note 2：This function can only be used outside of the sketch, double clicking on the feature/sketch while editing the sketch will not show the size.
# 3D Sketch
# Split
The "split" 
feature is now supported for use in 3D sketches.
Click anywhere on the sketch line, and the line segment breaks into two lines from the click position and automatically adds constraints. The constraint type is the same as the break in the 2D sketch.
Refer to Full User Manual -2D Sketch - Split"" for details。
# Features
# Hole
# Custom thread depth
The thread depth of "Thread hole, taper thread hole" in the "hole" command supports customization.
You can customize the thread depth by dragging the Viewport TAB or modifying the parameter of "Thread Depth" in the dialog box.
Dialog box function description：
Automatically calculate the depth：Usually, the thread depth and the overall depth of the hole there is a correlation, the system supports the automatic calculation of the other depth according to one depth.
- When the "Automatic depth calculation"
button behind the depth is pressed, it means that the depth will be automatically adjusted according to the other depth. - You can manually click the "Automatically calculate Depth" button as required to switch its pressed state to control whether the system needs to automatically calculate this depth.
Custom parameter display：After a custom parameter is modified, it will be highlighted with a yellow background, indicating that the parameter is not the default parameter of the selected specification.

Note：If the outline in the sketch intersects, or the result after rotation intersects, the feature cannot be created.
# Scan the boss/excise
Scanning the boss/excision supports selecting a sketch containing multiple disjointed Outlines and scanning to produce a solid containing multiple disjointed areas.
Scan boss/Excision support selects undissolved text for scanning.
Note：Features cannot be created if the Outlines intersect within the sketch, or if the scan results intersect.
The scan path supports the "select chain" function, check this, the system automatically calculates the line connected with the selected element as the scan path.
Note：Select chain function action elements are only available for lines of the "Sketch non-reference line, spatial curve" type.
# Duplicate surfaces

# The cut line can pick up the center of the circle
When you create a normal section view specifying a cut line, place the mouse over the edge of the circle and the cut line automatically passes through the center of the circle.
When creating a half cutoff view or adding a step feature to the cut line of a normal view, since you may need to place the pass point on the circular edge (instead of the center), the center will not be captured automatically, but the center will be highlighted so that you can capture the center manually.
# Projective view
In the projection view, you can select the section view for projection. The projection content is the complete model rather than the model that is cut.
# Local view
# Support section view
Section view can be selected to create a local view, and the projection content is the model after cutting.
