# Sketch


Modeling generally begins with a sketch. Supports the creation of positioning sketches with custom origin and XY orientation. You can choose the corresponding coordinate system or point as the center of the current sketch, which can reduce the drawing of many auxiliary lines and improve the design efficiency.
