I want to make my sketcher window start with a smaller design / sketch envelope. Does any one know how too? I believe the sketcher envople is 30"x30".
Looking for replies.
Thanks Texaspete
As suggested by Steve, you can have a centered square datum curved of 30"x30" in your start part template. When you create new part with default template, that square will appear there. This will lock your sketch envelop to datum curve size i.e 30"x30". Later on after creating basic construction features (without referring first datum curve),you can delete datum curve feature.
In sketch mode draw a simple line, dimension it, change dimension to 1" for example (or as close as possible to your part), and continue with the rest of the sketch that will be smaller.
