Controlling sketch relations
You can individually suppress or unsuppress sketch relations using configurations. Figure 10.17
shows the Display/Delete Relations PropertyManager interface, at the bottom of which is the
Configurations panel. To suppress a relation, select it from the list and select the Suppressed
option in the Relations section above the Delete buttons.Tip
This is another situation where Delete is not used as an editing option. Using this technique, you can save
sketch relations, or activate different sets of relations in different configs; this technique allows a single sketch
to react to changes differently. n
Controlling sketch planes
You cannot configure the Offset distance in the From option for extrudes, but you can configure
the sketch plane for the sketch that is used in the feature. The Sketch Plane PropertyManager inter-
face expands when configurations are present, as shown in Figure 10.18.
