To Import a Shape from the Sketcher Palette
1. Click Sketch > Palette. The Sketcher Palette dialog box opens.
2. Select the required tab on the Sketcher palette. The thumbnail and the label corresponding to the shapes available within the selected tab appear.
3. Click the thumbnail or the label corresponding to the required shape. The section corresponding to the selected shape appears in the preview pane.
4. Double-click the same thumbnail or the label again to import the selected shape into the active section.
The pointer changes to include a plus sign (+) indicating that you must select a location to place the selected shape.
5. Place the selected shape into the active section in one of the following ways:
By retaining the default size of the selected shape
1. Click anywhere in the graphics window to select a location to place the shape.
The shape with its default size, that is, one-fourth the graphics window, is placed at the selected location with the center of the shape coinciding with the selected location. The entities that define the shape remain selected.
The Move & Resize tab opens. Additionally, the Scale, Rotate, and Move handles appear on the imported shape. The Move handle coincides with the selected location.
2. Scale, rotate, or move the shape as required.
By resizing the selected shape
1. Click and hold the left mouse button to specify the location of the shape. The imported shape appears in a very small size at the location you select.
2. Drag the handle until the required size of the shape is achieved.
3. Release the left mouse button to confirm the size of the shape.
4. You can further scale and rotate the shape by specifying respective values in the Move & Resize tab.
5. Scale, rotate, or move the shape as required.
* 
By default, the imported shape does not snap when you place it. To enable snapping, move the Move handle on to the imported shape. To move the Move handle, right-click it and drag it to the required location on the imported shape.
6. Middle-click to accept the position, orientation, and the size of the imported shape. The imported dimensions and constraints are created as strong dimensions and constraints.
The Sketcher solver appears and additional dimensions and constraints are created.
