◦ Sketch collector—Displays the valid Sketch reference. You can use Remove from the shortcut menu (pointer in the collector) to remove the sketch reference.
▪ Define—Opens the Sketch dialog box enabling you to use Sketcher to define an internal section. Note that Define is available only if the Sketch collector is empty (no section defined or sketch selected). You can also use the Define Internal Sketch shortcut menu command from the graphics window.
