Sketcher

Defines the general drafting and modeling properties such as the scale of the sketch.

Sketch scale
Defines the scale of the geometric constraints of the sketch. For example, the scale of the geometric constraints of the sketch, such as dimensions or "parallel" or "tangent" symbols. Select the new scale from the list. Select either automatic scale or other scale.
Automatic scale - If you select Auto as the scale, the dimensions will be displayed in the sketch at the specified pixel size even if the sketch is zoomed.
Other scale - If you select a numerical value as the scale, for example 1:1, the dimensions will be displayed in the sketch at the specified scale, and dimension figures will change when zooming.
Automatic scale text size
If you select Auto as the scale, you can define the font size of dimensions and symbols in pixels. The font size also affects the size of the (sketching coordinate system) axes at the sketch origin. The length of one coordinate arrow is twice the text size (2 * text size).
The axes at the origin will become longer if you make the text size larger. The symbols and dimensions will also grow larger.
Sketch cross size
If you select a numerical value as the scale instead of using automatic scaling, you can specify the size of the sketching grid in millimeters. The value defines the axis length. The length of one coordinate axis will then be half of the specified value.
The cross size of the sketch defined in the first sketch of the part model is stored in the Windows Registry. This value will be used as the default value for grid size of the first sketch of a new part.
You can modify the cross size in the model sketches, but it will be stored in the register only, if you modify the size in the first sketch of the part.
Draw only the the wireframe as the default
Define in the sketching model the model as the default displaying method the wireframe, if you select . If you select , as the default is shaded draft.
Only sketch+references
Define in the sketching mode the model as the default representation.
