Undo and Restore

In both buttons there is a list field integrated, which shows the possible steps. When clicking on a list item you will automatically jump to the corresponding state and so possibly save dozens of single steps. (The last step is on top.)

Note After click on Accept changes the history below the button is empty. In other words: only for the steps of the current session undo or restore is possible.

Information for existing customers: In the course of the change from V11 to V12 the button for the deletion of a single step changed and an Undo / Restore function has been added.

Delete step

Removes the lastly created design step from the Sketch history or from the drawing in Sketcher.

Delete angle bisector

Angle bisector deleted

Note Even if Delete step is executed for a certain element, all elements based on it, belonging to the same feature (design step in the Sketch history), are deleted. Example: This action deletes the whole rectangle. If you really want to delete only a line, please use Delete element or Delete element with condition. See Section 7.9.3.3, “Delete ”.

Note The command Delete step can be undone with Undo.

Note Sometimes Delete step is disabled (grayed out). This is then the case, if depending elements would also be deleted by the action. On this see Fig. „Perpendicular bisector created on the base of the horizontal.“. You can mark dependent drawing elements. For this, mark the base element by mouse click and then click Mark dependent elements. -> Dependent elements connected by construction then are shown in pink. Perpendicular bisector created on the base of the horizontal.

Import sketch

With this command you can insert a sketch in the currently opened one or replace the current one. These sketches may have been created either...

Select the desired file in the dialog box Choose sketch....

Depending on the file type the respective window is opened (see Section 7.9.3.2.1, “Dialog box „Insert sketch“ (*.dbs-, *.skt or *.hsk files) ”) or Section 7.9.3.2.2, “Dialog box „DXF Import“ (*.dxf file) ”.

Repair DXF import

On this see Section 7.9.3.2.2, “Dialog box „DXF Import“ (*.dxf file) ”.

Save sketch: When clicking the button, the same-named dialog box is opened.

You can save sketch templates (*.hsk) and 2D drawings (*.2db) and later load again with Import sketch (see above).

Accept changes

Those changes that have been made since opening the sketch are saved and the Sketcher is closed.

If there is an error in the sketch, the following warning is displayed. You can leave the sketcher anyway. Then the sketch is marked as auxiliary sketch and cannot be assembled.

Edges cut or intersect themselves. The sketch will be marked as construction sketch and can't be used.

If before a 3D model had been created, saving is not possible. In any case, correct the error.

Edges cut or intersect themselves.

Discard changes
