The sketch environment consists of a sketch and sketch commands. The commands control the sketch grid and draw lines, splines, circles, ellipses, arcs, rectangles, polygons, or points. When you open a new part file, the sketch environment is active. The 2D Sketch button is selected, and the Sketch commands are available, along with a sketch plane on which to sketch. You can control the initial sketch setup by using template files, or settings in the Application Options dialog box, Sketch tab. When you create a sketch, a sketch icon displays in the browser. When you create a feature from a sketch, a feature icon displays in the browser with the sketch icon nested under it. When you click a sketch icon in the browser, the sketch is highlighted in the graphics window. After you create a model from a sketch, re-enter the sketch environment to change or start a new sketch for a new feature. In an existing part file, first activate the sketch in the browser. This action activates the commands in the Sketched Features | 23
