A week or so ago one of the reseller application engineers showed me a nice little tip for 3D sketching.<\/p>\n

When you are working in 3D sketches SolidWorks allows you to sketch in any plane, giving you feedback regarding the direction in which you are sketching.<\/p>\n

By hitting tab you can change the plane in which you sketch and by adding new sketch planes you can also lock the orientation.<\/p>\n

The method I was shown recently seemed too simple to not have noticed it before\u2026 sometimes things are right in front of you and you just don\u2019t notice them. To sketch in a certain plane just ROTATE to a view that is close to that plane and SolidWorks does the rest! <\/p>\n

This tip should help you speed up 3D sketching\u2026 particularly when in the context of an assembly as you can see exactly where you need to place your sketch.<\/p>\n

Check out this short video to see this tip and how it can help.<\/p>\n
