To Create Wireframe Entities by Sketching
In Legacy you can add new wireframe entities to an imported model by sketching them in a planar view of the model using common drafting techniques.
In contrast to Sketcher mode, new wireframe entities are non parametric, so you do not dimension them.
1. Click New from the LEGACYWIRE menu.
2. Click Planar Sketch on the NEW WIRE menu.
3. Select or create a sketching plane and specify its orientation. You are placed in the Drafting mode.
4. Sketch the necessary geometry using the SKETCH GEOM menu which displays the following:
Line—Sketches a line using the LINE menu.
Arc—Sketches an arc using the ARC menu.
Spline—Sketches a spline.
Circle—Sketches a circle using the CIRCLE menu.
Use Edge—Creates an entity using existing geometry.
Offset—Creates entities by offsetting existing entities.
Delete—Deletes selected entities.
Set Origin—Sets the origin of the sketching plane. Creo Parametric uses this origin to calculate coordinates when you use Abs Coords in the GET POINT menu.
5. Click Done/Return on the SKETCH GEOM menu. The new entities are added to the existing wireframe. For a better view, you may want to display the object in default orientation.
