Here is a screencast to show the steps. <UL> <LI>Align to X/Y/Z direction</LI> <LI>Use the Move command to move 2D sketch entities off the plane.</LI> <LI>Snap to objects while creating lines and splines (Not supporting the snap to sketch objects out of the active sketch at present. We have to use ‘Include 3D Geometry’ command as described below. It’s a known issue and the development team is working on it.)</LI> <LI>Use the Include 3D Geometries command. It can copy other existing objects (body edges, body vertices, sketch objects out of the active plane) into the active sketch and keep the association. We can then create more 3D sketch objects by snapping to them.</LI> </UL> <IFRAME src="https://screencast.autodesk.com/Embed/637b358a-1e37-41bf-84db-d3778086acab" width="696" height="435" frameborder="0"></IFRAME>   The idea behind why we need a sketch plane for 3D sketch, is that we wanted to someday deliver a unified 2D/3D sketch environment. You may refer to Jeff’s comments in the post below: <A href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/general-fusion-360-questions/what-s-your-fusion-360-performance-like/td-p/5477671/page/6" target="_blank">http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/general-fusion-360-questions/what-s-your-fusion-360-performance-like/td-p/5477671/page/6</A>   (post #53)   Regarding the dimension of 3D sketch, unfortunately, we have not yet been able to fully support it yet. What you both have observed is correct, i.e. after create 3D sketch line, you cannot use the dimensioning tool on the 3D sketch line; when you create 3D sketch line by aligning to X/Y/Z direction, you can input dimension like 2D sketch line. It’s probably an inconsistent case at present, but eventually we want to support both cases. Wed, 25 Mar 2015 04:36:42 GMT NicolasXu 2015-03-25T04:36:42Z
