Add to SmartSketch List ICON Adds objects that you select in the graphic view to the SmartSketch locate list. The Tools > Add to SmartSketch List also enables you to specify SmartSketch 3D options for locating precision points of design interest relative to one or more geometric objects in the model.

When you are working in the software, you can use SmartSketch 3D to help locate points in the model. Four types of SmartSketch points exist:

  • Key point

  • Point on geometry

  • Intersection point

  • Linear relationship point

You can control the identification of SmartSketch points and relationship indicators using the SmartSketch 3D tab on the Tools > Options dialog box.

Other features of SmartSketch 3D include the ability to force all points to a projection plane, shown with a translucent plane in the graphic view. You can also use SmartSketch 3D along with PinPoint, the precision coordinate feedback tool. To set a constraint lock, you can use the shortcut keys, which are CTRL+L. Press and hold X to disable SmartSketch 3D.

SmartSketch 3D has two different behaviors. The first behavior, locate on the display list, is done in a parent-child manner on the geometry of objects in the model. This behavior limits your selection to parent objects that you can actually see in the graphic view, For example, the location of ports is not possible because you cannot see a port, which is a child object, in the graphic view. The second behavior, locate on the SmartSketch locate list, is done in a child-parent manner. This behavior means that surfaces, ports, and so forth are available for selection.
