Connection Point of a Sketch on a Face

Define the position of the connection point of a sketching face in relation to the selected face in the dialog box.

Dialog Box Options

Angle

Defines the position of the connection point as an angle value. The angle value can be between 0 and 360, depending on the size of the face. As you move the cursor along the edge (cylinders and cones), or on a spherical face, and hold down the Alt key, the angle value will change in the dialog box. Enter the exact angle value in the field.

Two sketches have been added on a cylindrical face: first sketching face at angle 0 -> hole feature, the second at angle 90 -> rectangular hole. When the part is viewed from above, the relative positions of the features are visible.
Two angle values are defined for the connection point of a sketching face added on a spherical face. The first sketching face has been added with the following angle values: Angle 1= 0, Angle 2= 0. View the angles in relation to the above mentioned point: Angle 1 (A) and Angle 2 (B).
Two angle values are defined for the connection point of a sketching face added on a torus face. The first sketching face has been added with the following angle values: Angle 1= 0, Angle 2= 0. View the angles in relation to the above mentioned point: Angle 1 (A) and Angle 2 (B).

Relative Position

The connection point of a sketching face added on a lofting face is defined with two relative position values. The relative position can have values 0-1. With values 0.5 0.5 the connection point will be in the middle of the face. View the relative coordinates on the selected face.

Formula: Defines the numeric value as a variable.
