Another great video, thank you. Is there a way to start every sketch with centerlines automatically drawn on the two main plane references? I feel like 90% or more of the sketches I create, the first thing I need to do is create those centerlines manually. I could have sworn back in the wildfire days there was a way to create a sketch template that would load by default to achieve what I am describing.
I'm not aware of a method to get centerlines on the sketch references automatically, but I wish the initial suggested references behaved like centerlines.
When saving a sketch, will the .sec file stay in the workspace, or will it go to the sketcher_pallet_path folder (or the 2D_pallet_path)? Or, will I need to send a copy of the saved sketch (in the workspace working directory) to the folder associated with the sketcher_pallet_path? What is the best way to save a sketch? Using save (where Creo provides a default name), or save as to make the desired name (to possibly be used in the sketcher pallet? This was a set of five valuable sketcher tips. Nice job.
If you click File > Save, it will save using the sd#####.sec filename format. It will be saved into your workspace if you are using Windchill and into your working directory if you are not. If you use File > Save As > Save a Copy, you have the opportunity to change the filename and navigate to a different folder for saving. You could save it into the folder pointed to by the config.pro options or move it manually using Windows Explorer.
