What's the difference between your Sketcher Options....
(OP)
I was wondering if anyone could shine some light on the differences between the sketcher options. Specifically I'm wondering what the difference between sketch positioning options are. You have Positioned, sliding or isolated. What do these different options do to you sketch? I always used positioned but I can't see a difference between positioned and sliding.
thanks for your help...

With a Positioned Sketch, the origin an orientation of the sketch can be linked to a 3-D point and set of lines/planes. Then, when you use the sketch in a PowerCopy, the user just picks the new origin and orientation, and your sketch is positioned correctly.
An Isolated sketch is just that, Isolated. You cannot change it's orientation, position, or plane.

They are not linked with any plane...but you can turn them into sliding or positioned one...

how do you create them? why?

I'm not really sure why you would do this. The major power of V5 is in maitaining the history of the geometry.

But I'm not sure why anyone would do this.
