Is it possible to create a sketch on non-planar surface?
It it is not possible it would be a great feature. If I start a new part, create a new freeform with strange geometry, then would be fantastic to chose one of the curved faces and sketch on it. So I can insert splines or other geometrical objects onto the surface.
Can you sketch on a surface in Solidworks?
Creating a sketch on a surface is not that complicated in SOLIDWORKS. It allows you to create a 3D sketch on a surface with just a single click of your mouse. You can select each edge or select the face to create offset on a surface.
Can we select non-planar surface as sketch plane in Catia?
No, we cannot select a non-planar surface as sketch.
Can you make a curved plane in Solidworks?
To project a curve: Click Project Curve on the Curves toolbar, or Insert > Curve > Projected. Under Direction of Projection , select a plane, edge, sketch, or face as the direction of the projected curve. Under Projection Faces , select the cylindrical face on the model where you want to project the sketch.
How do I create a planar surface in Solidworks?
To create a bounded planar surface from a sketch:
- Create a non-intersecting, single contour, closed sketch.
- Click Planar Surface (Surfaces toolbar) or Insert > Surface > Planar.
- In the PropertyManager, select the sketch in the graphics area or FeatureManager design tree for Bounding Entities. .
- Click OK .
How do I project a sketch to another plane in SolidWorks?
Use this selection to project a sketched curve onto a model face.
- Under Sketch to Project , select the curve in the graphics area or from the flyout FeatureManager design tree.
- Under Direction of Projection , select a plane, edge, sketch, or face as the direction of the projected curve.
What is the difference between split and trim?
Trim: same as cutting but you can get the part you removed back by “dragging” the side of the clip. Split: you separate the clip in two parts. Both stay intact, they are just divided where you split them.
How do you project a plane sketch in Solidworks?
Click Project Curve on the Curves toolbar, or Insert > Curve > Projected. Use this selection to project a sketched curve onto a model face. Under Sketch to Project , select the curve in the graphics area or from the flyout FeatureManager design tree.
