(OP)
Any tutorials out there explaining how to create a 3D Sketch? I am trying to create a cable within an assembly.

A Video tutorial would be awesome.

RE: New to 3D Sketch

The art of 3d sketching for cable routes is basically a lot of planar 2d sketches. Hit the tab key while in the 3D sketch to change which plane (either x-y, x-z, or y-z) you are sketching on.
