RE: 3D sketching

Hi Rick,
How you do this dependson what you are trying to produce.
If it's bent steel wire such as a CD rack might be made of then you should be able to use use the frames command in an assembly file.
If it's electrical wire you can (in a Part file) use a free-form type curve path using the 'space-curve' or 'cross-curve' commands then sweep your cross-section along the path.
