Sketches. Create the sketches, and decide how to dimension, where to apply relations, and so on. Features. Select the appropriate features, determine the best features to apply, decide in what order to apply those features, and so on. Assemblies. If the model is an assembly, select what components to mate, what types of mates to apply. Design Method
All sketches include the following elements: Plane Sketches
All sketches include the following elements: Origin Sketches
All sketches include the following elements: Dimension Driving Dimension Sketches
All sketches include the following elements: Dimension Driven Dimension Sketches
All sketches include the following elements: Relation Sketches
Fully Defined. All the lines and curves in the sketch, and their positions, are described by dimensions or relations, or both. Over Defined. Some dimensions or relations, or both, are either in conflict or are redundant. Under Defined. Some of the dimensions or relations in the sketch are not defined and are free to change. You can drag endpoints, lines, or curves until the sketch entity changes shape. No Solution Found. The sketch is not solved. The geometry, relations, and dimensions that prevent the solution of the sketch are displayed. Invalid Solution Found. The sketch is solved but results in invalid geometry, such as a zero length line, zero radius arc, or self-intersecting spline. Sketches Definitions
