# Sketch inside the view


  1. Available command groups: Draw features (no sketch text command), decorate features (no transform boundary command), constraints.

  2. Size constraints, add/remove constraints take effect on sketch elements.

  3. Consider the scale of the view/drawing you are in when labeling the length.

For example: view ratio 1/5, drawing ratio 1/1. Drawing and labeling lines of length 100 in the view and drawing separately makes it appear that the length of the line in the 1/5 view is 1/5 of the length of the line in the 1/1 drawing.

  1. Each command is used the same way it was used in the sketch.

  2. Once you've locked the view out of focus, you can draw a sketch inside the view

  • The way to lock the focus view.
    • Double click the view to lock the view out of focus.
    • Right-click the view in the viewport/view panel that you want to lock focus and select "View Lock Focus."
  • Undo the way you want to lock the focus view.
    • Double-click on the drawing to unfocus the view.
    • Right click on the view in the viewport/view panel that is in the locked focus state and select "Unview Lock".
  • Each sketch within the view is drawn in the same way as the sketch is drawn on the paper.
  • In-view sketches can add constraints or dimensional relationships to in-view elements and move as the view moves.
