HOW TO ENABLE SKETCH DESIGN IN DRAFTING TAB

atdemo2019 — Wed, 21 May 2025 14:53:22 GMT

HI AUTODESK, I HAVE A SKETCH FILE THAT CONTAINS THE ORIGIN POINT, SO I SAVED IT SEPERATELY.

NOW I WANT TO IMPORT THAT ORIGIN FILE INTO THE WORKING MODEL. IT WORKS FINE.

I WANT TO SHOW THE ORIGIN POINT IN THE DRAFTING PAGE, BUT I CANT ABLE TO SWITCH THE IMPORTED SKETCH IN THE DRAFTING PAGE.IS IT POSSIBLE TO DO IT?

HERE I ATTACHED THE IMAGE AND FILE FYR.........THANKS IN ADVANCE

3D sketches are not supported as visible in drawings. You will need to use a different approach.

Thanks for the input @John_Wright , I am gonna look for other ways. But the curves are visible in other softwares.

Thanks for the reply, I am using Fusion software.

I've attached the fusion file & the image for the reference.

Hi,

1. As @John_Wright has already mentioned, 3D sketches cannot be created in the drawing.
2. what is your intention with these sketches?

No disrespect intended, at all, but I do not believe that using a sketch generated in the drawing environment is what the OP wants to achieve.

Sketches in the drawing enviroment are "dimensionally unstable"; "unlocked to geometry" and "non-parametric" that I personally believe that they should be avoided like the plague.

hi @g-andresen , I am going to do perform 3+2 machining, Due to some limitations we created a standard wcs for same kind of components. I use those curves as an origin points (wcs). those curve are represents tool shape. So the operator knows the origin point clearly.

Hi @atdemo2019

I would model them as solids. I have done this in the past using round arrow shapes to indicate origins etc.

Cheers,

John
