Part Modeling

Sketch names display in Select Other results

When using Select Other, sketch objects listed in the results include the sketch name where they are used. This feature is available in Part, Assembly, and 3D sketches.

Purge Unused Sketches and Work Features

Selectively remove unused work features and sketches using the new Purge Unused command. A list of unused work features and sketches displays, and you can select only those you want to purge. Selections highlight in the canvas.

Exporting Planar Faces

The Export Face As command now supports exporting either individual or multiple faces at one time. When you have multiple coplanar faces selected, the export option displays in the selection context menu.

Feature Patterns

The feature pattern commands, Rectangular and Circular, now have a selector flyout that gives access to the Origin axes.

It is now possible to use the shortcut keys in the context menu to edit sketches or features directly. Select a feature or sketch, right-click and use the shortcut key. The following shortcut keys are available:

  • K Edit Sketch
  • F Edit Feature

  • Flat pattern DXF/DWG export now exports parameter and property values as text objects.
  • Text within sketch blocks are exported as text objects.
