Templates for sketch entities

[iderryan]

 I'd like to be able to draw sketch entities and save them to a library, that I can then drop into a drawing and dimension rather than drawing them over and over again.  Is this possible? I tried searching, but maybe I'm using the wrong terms.

Hi @iderryan ,

One of the way is user can save the file (sketch) and bring them using Insert to current design. For more info refer screencast.

there is no convenient way to do this that I am aware of.  You could put whole sketches into their own design, and insert those designs, but that does not allow you to merge into an active sketch (you can copy/paste, but that requires opening the "template" design and selecting).  Perhaps someone more clever than I am can come up with an approach that is not clumsy...

Hi @iderryan 

As it stands, we currently do not have a library for sketch symbols. For now, your best bet is to create a drawing with all the sketch entities that you require. You can then Copy/Paste the sketches between drawings.

This is a feature that is on our public roadmap, and I am actively tracking requests for it. Every customer request that we get, from meetings, emails, forum posts etc. gets collected and categorised in our feature request database. This information is used to prioritise the features that we build next. I've added your request to our database.

I'd love to hear from you directly, and to get your thoughts around sketch libraries. If you're up for it, here is a link to my calendar, please book a 30-minute session with me, and we can chat on Zoom. I can also show you some of the new tools that are coming soon
