Changing Sketch Supports
 |
You can replace sketch planes with new planes or planar surfaces. Replacing a sketch plane with another one is a way of moving a sketch but it may also be a way of modifying design specifications. This task shows you how to do so. | |
 |
Open the ChangeSketch1.CATPart document. | |
 |
1. | The initial data is composed of a green open body and a gray pad. You are going to replace the plane used for the sketch of this pad with another plane. Select Sketch1 in the specification tree. |
| 2. | Select the Sketch1.object -> Change Sketch Support command. | |
 |
||
| 3. | Select the replacing plane. The operation is
immediately performed. You will notice that the bottom side of the pad adjusts itself to
the open body shape. Actually, the original profile of the pad was partially created with
the Intersect command |
|
 |
||
|
|
||
, which explains why the pad integrates the
open body shape.
