To Modify the Sketch Setup
1. Click Model > Sketch. The Sketch dialog box opens. The Plane, Reference, and Orientation display the current settings.
2. Change any of the following on the Placement tabbed page:
◦ Sketch Plane—Select a datum plane or a planar surface to specify the new sketching plane.
◦ Sketch Orientation
▪ Change the direction of the sketch view.
▪ Change or remove the current orientation reference.
▪ Change the orientation (Top, Bottom, Right, Left) of the orientation reference.
|
|
 When you remove an orientation reference, the existing orientation reference is replaced with the default orientation reference, that is, an existing plane or based on the model default coordinate system. |
3. Change any of the following on the Properties tabbed page:
◦ Sketch name
◦ Add hatching lines to closed sketch sections. You can specify the following attributes:
▪ Scale—Sets the scale of the hatch pattern relative to the section outline.
▪ Angle—Sets the angle of the hatching lines. Enter a value between 0 and 180.
4. Click Sketch. The Sketch tab opens.

Sketch is disabled if the Sketch Plane box is empty.

When you change a value in the Sketch dialog box, the active section is regenerated. The sketcher geometry appears with new orientation settings. Upon regeneration, a message in the message pane indicates reference failures, if any, that you must resolve.
