Sketch 86

[Mrx Wylie]

So apparently there are no more sketch planes, just sketches and if I have created a body from a sketch, that body is deleted whenever I try to delete the sketch. How do I disconnect the body from the sketch so I can delete the sketch and keep the body?

You have the option to use either .shapr or .x_t exports and I have done it both ways. The shapr format not only has sketches, but also the history with parameters. It also has any visualization color/materials that are generally worth keeping. For the most part, I would suggest using shapr files.

Hello,
I understand the importance of sketches in parametric history, but is there an option to switch them off or disconnect? For instance, I often use sketches to export .dxf for my plasma cutter, but before export I want to make 3d model to test that everything will work out.
Then when I transform (mostly rotate) those sketches to make them lay on XZ plane, also deform whole object. So the only way, which is really complicated, is to copy those objects, transform them, make plane and then project them on the plane, delete object delete plane and export sketches.

Using the mirror tool makes you loose your selection. With my solution you stay in sketch mode and you keep the selected lines. I prefer to use this method in certain situations. And I need to hit M only.

Yes, forgot about moving gizmo. I think you are right, this could serve as a solution in majority of cases.
I guess being used to mirror tool in other CAD software it seems weird not to have it. LOL
Thank you @gex

While many people like to sketch in 3D view (myself included) many people sketch exclusively in 2D view (architects, engineers etc) and switching to 3D view each time would quickly become frustrating.

I'm trying to create an Experience Builder (EB) with some GP tool functionality, namely the Extract Data Task, that I have published as a web tool. Now my challenge is, that the tool in EB apparantly doesn't allow the user to draw a polygon and use as the AOI.

So my idea was to have a sketch layer, where the user can just draw a sketch, and then use that layer as the input AOI.. However, even though I add a sketch layer in the Web map, and it shows in the EB, I can't seem to actually do anything with it..??

Hi @LarsElmkr_Chwastek, the Sketch layer is not yet supported as data source so even though it displays in the map and Map Layers widget, it can't be used as input data to other widgets like Edit, Analysis. etc. The good news is that in the upcoming ArcGIS Online release (end of February), more interactive input methods are planned to be available in the Analysis widget, including end users drawing graphics like Polygon, Polyline, and Point as AOI.

Do you know when this will be available on Enterprise? We have most of our users on the Enterprise Portal and are right now bouncing off ArcGIS Online via collaboration, since the Portal is a bit behind Online functionality wise.

Creo intent manager will offer help for this, see the picture below showing how to get hints from the intent manager in sketch mode. It appears that your sketch has more than one open loop which is one issue. Watch the command line (usually at the bottom of the graphics window ) for warning messages as well.

The sketch is visible when I look at a LIST of notes, but I cannot find the sketch on PC, iPad nor on my iPhone. I tried duplicating the note, but the duplicate note doesn't show the thumbnail of the sketch at all.

So what happens is: I make a sketch and save it. All looks good when I open it again, but when I continue to work on the sketch in 50% of the cases the updates to the sketch are lost when I open the sketch again at a later point, even though I absolutely did hit save (probably several times). Sometimes the thumbnail shows me the actual updated version but when I open it the updates are gone. Sometimes even the thumbnail doesn't show the updates. Last time it happend and my updates weren't saved, the version that Evernote had in the note was a copy I had saved directly on my iPad five days before and the work of five days was just gone. I tried to get it back -following the instructions I found online- but nope, all gone.

Same thing happen to me. Why is this an issue? I am a new user and that is already a buzz killer for me. I'm trying to recover my notes and I see the thumbnail but not my notes. I already tried going to the history to recover it and it's not there. When is the fix going to be applied.

I've been wondering what the best way to copy a sketch from an old part to a new part is. I've had situations in the past where I wanted to copy a sketch of a detailed hole layout to another part and I've tried using a simple copy and paste but it doesn't keep all the dimensions exactly like the old sketch had. For example, I had a control panel layed out and one of the engineers wanted to add some holes to it for more components. Well, the panel I had layed out wasn't big enough to have the extra holes added to it while still being asthetically pleasing. So, I had to make a bigger panel and copy the sketch over to it. When I did this, it left out all the "strong" dimensions I had put into it plus many other little things which ended up costing me a lot of extra time to get it back into shape. Is there a better way to do this? If so, please let me know how I should do this. Your input is much appreciated.

Thanks, that method worked great. It seems to be the most organized way of doing it. One question I have is: What is the best way to accurately locate the old sketch onto the new part? My guess would be to use a point located in the exact center of the old sketch and also have a point on the new sketch that I can use to attach the old sketch to.

After the Flanders poppies have faded away, and the height of the California poppies has passed comes prime season for the most resilient of poppies, the Matilija poppy. These fried-egg poppies will bloom through the hottest days of summer with very little water.

This first piece is created over a page that was pre-painted with blue acrylic paint. The poppies started out with some fingerprinting using watercolor straight out of Blockx tubes ( the paint, when thinned down works like regular watercolor, but I love it most straight out of the tube when it is brilliant, creamy, and quite opaque.)

Someone asked on Instagram how I keep track of these happenings. I just add them to my calendar and if I get a break in the day or can move things around to make it work, I turn up. So go check details in the bio for both @drawingisfree_org and @pencils4tea and maybe we will draw together in a session soon!

Most years I post a few sketches of California poppies. I might have missed that season this year, but instead, I made two trips out to sketch these amazing red poppies with Nina and Uma. Below are three takes on the same subject.

I like switching up my book format once in a while to make me look at things from a different framing perspective. Do you change out your sketchbooks? or do you use a standardized-size of book for a long time ?

The San Miguel Church is said to be the oldest church in the USA. I eliminated a whole bunch of newish structures built too close to the building to try and imagine it as it was presented by every tour guide I heard while I sat there.

Just before I flew back home, I made a quick visit to the New Mexico Museum of Art, a building I have drawn so many times from the outside but never stepped into. This simple, peaceful sketch of a quiet inner courtyard was my very last sketch before I headed back home.

Because you need to feel the plaseure to draw. They are soft and very easy to use.

No, they are different names so dont override as i have tested. In fact Sk2 is not Sk1 redefined. They differ in important things. So you decide what fits better to you. I remember i use the same icons for one brush and the erasers. (the behavior is adapted to the overal bundle feeling, also The reason is because i love them.
I have something like this in one computer

@kacart
@THE_CULT_OF_BERSERK The template was not included as i explained before you can make it really fast. But SPOILER: i am designing new smart canvas samples and some tests are really cool. If you have Digital Atelier bundle, you can create impressive papers with the surfaces included. even in 1024px. for each pattern.
@Tamoha Thanks for your charm comment.
@ari Wei! Thanks for the image sample. And yes, the PDF has a lot of useful info. Thanks for the appreciation.

Yes I am in the community but not as active as I would like. Kenzo is really a master in gesture specialized on that field. I would like to see him sketching with Krita. I am pretty sure he could create amazing results

I've never been able to sketch in a note with the S Pen on my Samsung Galaxy S22 but I've been able to use my finger to sketch. But I just updated the Android mobile app to version 10.56.2 and now, even finger sketching doesn't work properly. Any ideas?

If this is an issuw for you then you should raise a support ticket. I can sketch with my finger on v10.56.2 but I don't have Samsung phone. You could try the defaukt uninstall/reinstall. Version upgrades have been known to break things which can be resolved by uninstalling. I don't think that would resolve the S Pen thing but it MIGHT work to get the finger sketch going again.
