Mouse gestures • Mouse gestures are an interface method that you can customize to do anything a SolidWorkstoolbar button can do, but by default, it controls view orientation. • Click+drag the right mouse button (RMB) to access the commands on the donut
Sketch On Faces • The sketch is projectednormal (perpendicular) to the sketch plane. • The sketch can be an open or closed loop, • but it may not be multipleopen or closed loops, nor can it be self-intersecting.
Sketch types • sketch types, including closed loop and open loop. • Closed loop sketches make solid features by default, but you can also use them to make thin features. • Open loop sketches make thin features by default, and you cannot use them to make solid features. • A nested loop is one closed loop inside another, like concentric circles. • Self-intersecting sketches can be any type of sketch where the geometry crosses itself. • SolidWorks also identifies sketches where three or more sketch elements intersect at a point by issuing an error if you try to use the sketch in a feature.
Sketch contours enable to select enclosed areas where the sketch entities themselves actually cross • otherwise violate the usual sketch rules. • One of these conditions is the self-intersecting contour
