• Most Sketch Entities are inserted by clicking a start point and an end point, 2-LMB Clicks

  • The white points on the icon indicate how clicking defines the entity

  • Holding LMB or "Dragging" is poor-practice and not recommended

• The number of clicks required and the order to do them are defined by the Sketch Entity Icon

  • Line Tool is Start Point → End Point

  • Circle Tool is Center → Radial Point

  • Corner Rectangle is One Corner → Opposite Corner

• NOTE: The cursor shall change depending on what tool you have selected and what the next operation may be

• To get out of adding entities:

  • RMB→Select

or

• • Esc

• Shaded regions are useful in determining what Solid Geometry can be generated from

• NOTE: If the region does not appear shaded:

  • Menu Bar→Tools→Sketch Settings→Shaded Sketch Contours

• Selecting (LMB) inside the Shaded Region selects all boundary entities
