Undo and Restore

In both buttons there is a list field integrated, which shows the possible steps. When clicking on a list item you will automatically jump to the corresponding state and so possibly save dozens of single steps. (The last step is on top.)

Note After clicking on Apply changes [Accept changes], the history below the buttons is completely cleared. In other words: only the steps of the current session can be undone or restored.

Information for existing customers: In the course of the changeover from V11 to V12, the button for undoing a single step has changed and an undo/redo [Restore] function has been added.

Delete step

Removes the last created construction step from the sketch history [Sketch history] or from the drawing in the Sketcher.

Delete angle bisector

Angle bisector deleted

Note Even if Delete step is executed over a specific element, all elements associated with it that belong to the same feature (design step in the sketch history [Sketch history] ) are deleted. Example: This action deletes the whole rectangle. If you really only want to delete one line, you must Delete [Delete element] element or Delete element conditionally [Delete element with condition]. See Section 7.9.3.3, “Delete ”.

Note The command Delete step can be undone with Undo to undo.

Note Sometimes Delete step is deactivated (grayed out). This is then the case, if depending elements would also be deleted by the action. On this see Fig. „Perpendicular bisector created on the base of the horizontal.“. You can display the dependent drawing elements selected. Select the base element with the mouse and click Select dependent elements [Mark dependent elements]. -> Dependent elements connected by construction then are shown in pink. Perpendicular bisector created on the base of the horizontal.

Import sketch

With this command you can insert a sketch in the currently opened one or replace the current one. These sketches may have been created either...

Select the desired file in the Select sketch [Choose sketch...] dialog box.... [Choose sketch...]

Depending on the file type the respective window is opened (see Section 7.9.3.2.1, “ Insert sketch" dialog box (*.dbs, *.skt or *.hsk files) ”) or Section 7.9.3.2.2, “ DXF import " dialog box (*.dxf file) ”.

Repair DXF import

On this see Section 7.9.3.2.2, “ DXF import " dialog box (*.dxf file) ”.

Save sketch: Click on the button to open the dialog box of the same name.

You can save sketch templates (*.hsk) and 2D drawings (*.2db) and load them again later with Import Sketch [Import sketch] (see above).

Accept changes

The changes made since the sketch was opened are saved and the sketcher is closed.

If there is an error in the sketch, the following warning is displayed. You can leave the sketcher anyway. Then the sketch is marked as auxiliary sketch and cannot be assembled.

Edges intersect or touch each other. [Edges cut or intersect themselves.] [...] The sketch is then marked as an auxiliary sketch and cannot be installed [The sketch will be marked as construction sketch and can't be used.]

If before a 3D model had been created, saving is not possible. In any case, correct the error.

Edges cut or intersect themselves.

Discard changes

The changes made since the sketch was opened are not saved.
