Chapter 3: Working with Sketches


Split Entities splits a sketch entity into two segments. You can also delete it later to rejoin the
entity back into a single segment. Closed loop entities require at least two split points.

Dynamic Mirror can be used when you pre-select a centerline and Dynamic Mirror is turned on.
Any new sketch entity that you draw is automatically mirrored to the other side of the centerline.
The ends of the mirror line have hatch marks on them to remind you that you have mirroring
turned on.


Linear Pattern creates a one- or two-directional pattern of sketch entities. You can define spacing
and angles. Figure 3.23 shows the interface and the results of this function.


Circular Sketch Pattern creates a circular pattern of sketch entities.
