2d sketch on a drawing

2d sketch on a drawing

(OP)
Hi,
I need to 2d sketch on a drawing (drafting) sheet and constrain it to the view elements and add some dimensions. How could I do it?

The idea is to show sliding distance of a CAM in the drawing.

John, I had tried "Sketch on Sheet..". But couldn't constrain the way I requested. when the view moves, I want the sketch to move with the view.

Don't use any views, just treat the Drawing sheet as one big sketch view, like I did in the example Drawing.

Sorry I may have not clear enough. I agree, I could add constrains inside the sketch but not to an existing view’s elements.

I've a cross section view and I want to show cam operation/timing diagram. i.e. the distances of driver movement, cam/punch movement, die movement etc. and show parametrically the resultant value. For this, my Sketch on Sheet should follow and align (add constrains) to the view’s elements.

Thanks to GTAC support I got the answer.

RBM the view and select "Active Sketch View" and start sketching. Then could add constrains to the view model geometry and to the new sketch.
