Drawing from sketch?
Drawing from sketch?
(OP)
Hi,
From time to time I want export a specific sketch as a standalone drawing, with measures and so on. The problem is however that measures semm to disappear when simply copying the sketch into a drawing, and I can't change the scale.
Anyone has a smooth solution for making drawings from sketches? I've probably missed something obvious, at least I hope so.
Thanks! :)

RE: Drawing from sketch?
I assume you are starting a new part, then creating a sketch in that part file, then trying to drag and drop this sketch into a new drawing.
It's easier to open a new drawing and start sketching right in the drawing. You can add relations, dimensions, center lines etc, as you go along.
This should work perfectly fine for simple 2D drawings where, for example, a simple end profile and length note shows everything you need to know about the part.

Or you can do it like Adrian2 suggested. Just start your sketches and add Dimensions inside of a new drawing.
