Tool Description Tool Description
Point Draws a point Line Draws a line segment from 2 points
Arc Draws an arc segment from center, radius, start angle and end angle Arc 3 points Draws an arc segment from two endpoints and another point on the circumference
Circle Draws a circle from center and radius Circle 3 points Draws a circle from three points on the circumference
Ellipse Draws an ellipse by center point, major radius point and minor radius point Ellipse 3 points Draws an ellipse by major diameter (2 points) and minor radius point
Arc of ellipse Draws an arc of ellipse by center point, major radius point, starting point and ending point Polyline Draws a line made of multiple line segments. Several drawing modes available
Rectangle Draws a rectangle from 2 opposite points Triangle Draws a regular triangle inscribed in a construction geometry circle
Square Draws a regular square inscribed in a construction geometry circle Pentagon Draws a regular pentagon inscribed in a construction geometry circle
Hexagon Draws a regular hexagon inscribed in a construction geometry circle Heptagon Draws a regular heptagon inscribed in a construction geometry circle
Octagon Draws a regular octagon inscribed in a construction geometry circle Slot Draws an oval by selecting the center of one semicircle and an endpoint of the other semicircle
Fillet Makes a fillet between two lines joined at one point Trimming Trims a line, circle or arc with respect to a clicked point
External geometry Creates an edge linked to external geometry Construction mode Toggles an element to/from construction mode. A construction object will not be used in a 3D geometry operation and is only visible while editing the Sketch that contains it
Coincident Affixes a point onto (coincident with) one or more other points. Point on object Affixes a point onto another object such as a line, arc, or axis.
Vertical Constrains the selected lines or polyline elements to a true vertical orientation. More than one object can be selected before applying this constraint. Horizontal Constrains the selected lines or polyline elements to a true horizontal orientation. More than one object can be selected before applying this constraint.
Parallel Constrains two or more lines parallel to one another. Perpendicular Constrains two lines perpendicular to one another, or constrains a line perpendicular to an arc endpoint.
Tangent Creates a tangent constraint between two selected entities, or a co-linear constraint between two line segments. Equal length Constrains two selected entities equal to one another. If used on circles or arcs their radii will be set equal.
Symmetric Constrains two points symmetrically about a line, or constrains the first two selected points symmetrically about a third selected point. Lock Constrains the selected item by setting vertical and horizontal distances relative to the origin, thereby locking the location of that item
Horizontal distance Fixes the horizontal distance between two points or line endpoints. If only one item is selected, the distance is set to the origin. Vertical distance Fixes the vertical distance between 2 points or line endpoints. If only one item is selected, the distance is set to the origin.
Distance Defines the distance of a selected line by constraining its length, or defines the distance between two points by constraining the distance between them. Radius Defines the radius of a selected arc or circle by constraining the radius.
Internal angle Defines the internal angle between two selected lines. Map sketch Maps a sketch to the previously selected face of a solid
Merge Merge two or more sketches Mirror Mirrors selected elements of a sketch
