Sketch Origin in Active Sketch view

Sketch Origin in Active Sketch view

Sketch Origin in Active Sketch view

(OP)
Hello all,

Does anyone know, when I create a sketch in the active sketch view on a drawing, at what z coördinates the sketch is created? (assuming the view is a topview of X-Y plane)

We have a drawing with a section cut where the sketch (section cut view is active sketch view) disappears if we set the back clipping to a certain value. When I disable the back clipping the sketch appears again... The value where it disappears doesn't seem to be connected to the z position of the section cut on the parent view...

Unfortunately I cannot share the drawing publicly....

Sounds like a good question for GTAC.

Did you try checking the view using expand Option and see those skecthes in view to check their position?

Contacted GTac indeed...they checked...The "Z-coordinates" seem to be totally random. The clipping values where the sketch disappears even change on different machines...

They have raised an ER for this...they see the value of being able to control this with associativity....

For those interested..
ER 7656095; Desc: Allow the user to set the z-depth of a sketch created within a drafting view.
