Dims/Notes

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 tool, and draw the redline as described in Placing redlines .

The Place Redline dialog box opens.

4.      Select Attach the current selection as a sketch.

5.      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.
