Sketched features are closed-shape structural cuts. Sketched features are applied to plates in the Structural Detailing task. Unlike openings in the Molded Forms task, sketched features are usually small in size and are not significant to strength and weight analysis.
Sketched Feature symbols are very basic. No graphic inputs are required in the symbol file. The (0,0) origin point of the 2D Symbols file is used as the default placement point for the symbol. The symbol geometry should be defined about the 2D Symbols file origin point and constrained using horizontal and vertical constraints in such a manner as to get predictable placement results. Openings symbol shapes must be a closed contour.
Within the software, sketched features are placed on plates and profiles using the Sketched Features command in the Structural Detailing task. Sketched features are placed using a Draft 2D view (sketching plane) of the plate.
