Position sketch plane parallel to screen
Defines if the sketch plane is positioned parallel to the screen
when you enter in the

otherwise the default orientation is kept. Selecting this option enables
Minimize viewpoint transformation check box.
By default, this check box is selected.
Minimize viewpoint transformation
Defines whether to keep the orientation of the sketch axis as
close as possible to original 3D position and orientation.
If you select this option when entering the
Sketcherapp,
the sketch plane aligns itself in such a way that the 2D viewpoint in
Sketcher
becomes similar to that of the 3D viewpoint.

sketch.

Add construction geometries for the newly created sketch
Defines whether the construction elements created in a new sketch
should be visible outside
Sketcher
or not.
By default, this check box is cleared.
Hide or Show Outputs at the same time as the sketch
The output elements are hidden when hiding the sketch node, and are shown
when showing the sketch node.
By default, this check box is not
selected.
Geometry
Create circle and ellipse centers
Defines whether the center points are created for the circles and
ellipses at the time of their creation.
By default, this check box is selected.
Allow direct manipulation
Defines whether you are able to move geometry using the mouse
according to the
Solving Mode options.
By default, this check box is selected.

Standard mode
Moves as many elements as possible with respect to existing
constraints.
By default, this option is cleared.
Minimum move
Moves as few elements as possible with respect of existing
constraints.
By default, this option is selected.
Drag elements end points included
Moves the elements with their end points.
By default, this check box is selected.

Constraint
Creates the geometrical constraints
Defines whether the geometrical constraints detected by the
SmartPick tool are created. This option is also available in the
action bar.
By default, this check box is selected.
Creates the dimensional constraints
Defines whether the dimensional constraints detected by the
SmartPick tool are created. This option is also available in the
action bar
.
By default, this check box is selected.
Automatic Dimensional Constraints Creation
Creates detected internal dimensional constraints automatically
as you create a sketch. See
Sketcher User's Guide: Setting Constraints: Working with
Dimensional/Geometrical Constraints: Display Constraints Automatically.
By default, this check box is cleared.
SmartPick
Click this to display the SmartPick Detection and Snapping
options.
Detection
Support lines and circles
Defines whether the line and arc of circle support are detected.
By default, this check box is selected.
Alignment
Defines whether alignment constraint is detected.
By default, this check box is selected.

By default, this check box is selected.
Snapping
Snap mode
Defines whether the snapping is done on all the visible
elements or only on the last flown over element. You can select one of the
following options:
All visible elements
Last flown over element
Notes:
For internal geometries, if
All visible elements is selected, then
all the visible elements are considered for snapping.
For background elements, if
All visible elements is selected, then
only the last 5 flown over background elements are considered for snapping.
By default,
All visible elements option is selected.
