Once the sketch is done, you can add further detail by hatching closed sketches to add colors. The sizing will not matter because you will never see the actual dimensions unless you are in the sketch itself. Using the second method, it can be an arbitrary size, so it fits on the drawing sheet. The easiest method would be making the sketch the same exact size and then scale it up or down to make it bigger on the drawing. When sketching the geometry, there are 2 options. Start a new sketch symbol and sketch the geometry you want. In our example, we will be creating a button detail within a sketch symbol.
This is also very helpful if there are parts that consistently need to have the same details on different drawings. The downside to using a section view is if your drawing has a lot of dimensions on it, everything can become cluttered, making the drawing hard to comprehend. If you have details in your model that you would want to point out, usually we would use a section view to show this.
This is extremely beneficial especially if there are certain fields in the title block that has longer phrases. This now allows engineers and drafters to place a symbol in a few seconds rather than typing, which could potentially lead to spelling errors. Once the sketch symbol is created, it can be constantly reused. Sketch symbols are the best option because they provide a seamless process when updating allow updating the title blocks. You may be wondering why anyone would use a sketch symbol to fill out fields in a title block? If you have a custom title block, most likely you are using prompted entries to fill out those fields. Once you have both sketch symbols ready, we can start to place it onto our drawing in the appropriate location. Once you are done in the sketch environment, finish the sketch Note that we will have to create two separate sketch symbols: one for each text. It will either say “NOT FOR CONSTRUCTION” or “PRODUCTION READY.” We will add a text box to our sketch and add the text above.
For example, in our title block, there is a section that will be used to tell what stage the drawing is at. You will see a “Sketch Symbols” folder and right-click on that folder and click on “Define New Symbol” to create a new sketch symbol. Open a drawing and expand the “Drawing Resources” folder in the model browser. In this blog we will cover use cases of sketch symbols, such as title blocks, text, model details, model dimensions, and images. If you are limiting the tool to only one-use case, this will prevent your ability to make advanced drawings efficiently and effectively. The name “sketch symbol” may be misleading because a lot of users might think the sole purpose of this tool is to just sketch symbols. Sketch symbols are used to create custom sketch symbols that are unique to the industry you work in, so you can communicate your design intent.
