To Create a Sketched Coordinate System
When you create a geometry coordinate system in a sketch-based feature, the new coordinate system exists as a regular coordinate system in the Standard application. Using a geometry coordinate system is the only way that a coordinate system created in Sketcher can convey feature-level information outside of Sketcher.
1. Click
Model >
Sketch. The
Sketch dialog box opens.
2. Select a sketching plane and set its orientation, or accept the default orientation.
3. Click Sketch. The Sketch tab opens.
4. Click
Sketch >
Coordinate System in the Datum group. A geometry coordinate system appears at the tip of your pointer.
5. Click the graphics window to place the coordinate system center.
| • You can create multiple geometry coordinate systems in the same sketch. • Right-click a coordinate system in Sketcher to toggle between Construction and Geometry. |
6. Click
OK.
