Sketcher Tutorial

The Sketcher is a tool to generate 2D-objects for usage in parts design. The sketcher is different to traditional drawing tools. A good example to show the difference is the construction of a triangle. A triangle is fully defined by 3 values, which can be any from the following list: side length, angle, height?, area. The one exception is three angles, which will not define the size.

In order to construct a triangle from 3 length in the traditional way the following has to be done: - draw the base line - make to circles with a radius given by the other two side lengths, or alternatively calculate the coordinates of the third vertex - draw the missing two sides from the endpooints of the base line to the crossing point of the two circles.
