◦ To edit an existing sketch, click Unlink to break the association with the sketch. An internal sketch is created using a copy of the sketch. Create a sketch and click 
OK.
OK.◦ When a sketch does not exist, click Define and set references. Create a sketch and click OK.

◦ 
Variable—Extrudes a section from the sketching plane by a specified angle.

◦ Click Add bends on sharp edges to round sharp edges when the sketch includes nontangent geometry. Set the value of the radius and the location for dimensioning the radius.
◦ Click Set driving surface opposite sketch plane to flip the driving surface. Use this option when the segment is not a first segment.
◦ Click Merge to model to merge the segment with intersecting segments.
To keep the new segment edges from merging with existing intersecting segments, click Keep merged edges.
Click Keep edges of bends to keep edges between new geometry and bends on existing geometry.
◦ Click Do not merge to model to keep the segment as a distinct piece.
Click Set driving surface opposite sketch plane to set the driving surface to the opposite side of the sketch plane.
