2D Geometry Operations

You should note that the Sketcher User's Guide contains images that correspond to the Sketcher workbench and therefore illustrate geometry in an environment that is different from the Drafting environment (symbols, background color, for example).

These commands allow you to modify and perform various operations on 2D geometry.

Modify Elements Coordinates

Use the Line Definition dialog box to modify element coordinates.

Create a corner:

Create a rounded corner (arc tangent to two curves) between two lines using trimming operation.

Create a chamfer:

Create a chamfer between two lines using trimming operation.

Trim elements:

Trim a line or a circle (either one element or all the elements).

Break elements:

Break any type of curves.

Create symmetrical elements:

Repeat existing elements using a line, a construction line or an axis.

Translate elements:

Perform a translation on 2D elements by defining the duplicate mode and then selecting the element to be duplicated.

Rotate elements:

Rotate elements by defining the duplicate mode and then selecting the element to be duplicated.

Scale elements:

Resize a profile to the dimension you specify.

Offset elements:

Duplicate a line, arc or circle type element.
