Create Line Segments in a 3D 2D Sketch (Two Point, Tangent, Perpendicular)

This section explains how to create line segments in a 2D sketch within a 3D Scene.
Use the following tools from the [Sketch] tab → [Drawing] group:
[Two Point], [Tangent], and [Perpendicular].

Procedure:

[Two point] Operation

[1] Click [2-Point] in the [Sketch] tab.


[2] Left-click to select a desired position as the start point.

[3] Then left-click again to select the end point, and a line will be created.

To Draw with Specified [Length] and [Angle]

[1] [1] Click [2-Point].

[2] Left-click to select a desired start point.

[3] Then right-click to select the end point. The [Line Length/Slope Edit] dialog will appear.

[4] Enter any value and click OK to create a line by specifying Length and Tilt.

[Tangent] Operation

[1] Before drawing a tangent line, create a circle.


[2] Click [Tangent] in the [Sketch] tab.


[3] Select the circle. A tangent line to the selected circle will be created.


You must select a circle or arc first. Otherwise, the tangent line cannot be created.

[Perpendicular] Operation

[1] Click [Perpendicular] in the [Sketch] tab.


[2] Select a target line or circle, and a perpendicular line will automatically be created.
