DesignSeries00080.pngAttaching a Sketch to a Redline

In screen plane mode, one or more selected objects can be attached to a redline object to illustrate the redline comments. The object to be attached as a sketch must be selected before drawing the redline; this process converts the selected object to a sketch symbol and places it in a Redline Sketches symbol folder saved with the file.

To attach a selected object as a redline sketch:

  1. Switch to the screen plane (see Planar Modes of 2D Objects: Screen Plane and Layer Plane).

  2. Select the object to be converted to a sketch.

  3. Click the Redline tool from the Dims/Notes tool set, and draw the redline as described in Placing Redlines .

  4. The Place Redline dialog box opens.

  5. Select Attach the current selection as a sketch and click OK.

  6. The selection is converted to a symbol that is attached to and moves with the redline object.

The sketch can be hidden by deselecting Show Sketch from the Object Info palette.
