I just discovered Tools->Sketch Settings->Enable Snapping. If I uncheck that box, I find that adjusting a 3D sketch is a lot more predictable, especially when using it to route tubing in an assembly. The default (Snapping) causes the point you're dragging to jump perpendicularly to the current plane as it finds features in the assembly. Thanks for a great video!
Great tip, another thing that helps as well is holding down CTRL to avoid the auto relations to kick in, this again helps to get the point you want where you want, instead of defining it with automatic relations which might not be ideal in all cases.
Thank you for all of your help! I’ll be starting a new job soon, and after not using Solidworks for 2 years, your tutorials are incredible helpful and I’m so appreciative of your teachings!
I like to work with 3D sketch when I have to do a big frame with weldments. It takes more time to get it done and experience all the tricky features, but if you have a fully constrained sketch it can work nice. However I havent got a proper cut list in my life from these parts, somehow it's always buggy and sums up the individual sections. Looks silly when you have a 2m wide frame but the cut list sums up 3 of the sides and tells you to cut one 6+ meter piece instead of three 2 meters pieces.
Thank you for your informative videos. I am currently encountering a challenge when using the Weldment feature. After creating a model, the entire assembly is combined into a single part, which significantly hinders the creation of individual profile drawings on separate sheets. I have attempted to circumvent this issue by saving multiple copies of the part and suppressing all but one profile in each copy. However, this process is extremely time-consuming. I would be grateful if you could suggest a more efficient method for modeling weldments while minimizing the time required for drawing creation.
Constraints are displayed automatically for the selected entity, e.g I highlight a line and that shows me what are the constraints/relations to it at the moment, but otherwise I just hold down CTRL and select the two entities to add a new constraint from the small pop up menu that shows up, this is the fastest way to do things.
Well done mate! This is VERY VERY useful and important to understand. Why I am saying this because tutors or professors at colleges do not know how to explain. For example, showing some shortcuts or other ways how to draw complicated and unusual models. I have been struggled using any of these 3D softwares if there is anyfhing something complicated.
Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad that the video was helpful for you in understanding how to approach and tackle complex models in 3D CAD software. It can definitely be a challenge, but with practice and the right techniques, it becomes much easier to create these models efficiently and accurately.
your sketch is floating in a 3d space (3d sketches) and there are 6 DOFs for the sketch. But honestly, I havent noticed that. You really can't fully automate a 3D sketch? I'll check it when I go back to the office
From Bhutan....Sir,,, iam having problem with 3D sketch.When I add sketch plane to my model and when I double click to sketch plane it get disappear not even Dash line also ... so sir could solve my problem
It's odd that you never mentioned the primary method of 3D sketching which is to hit the tab key in a 3D view to rotate the triad on the run. Give it a go It's even easier than any of the methods presented here.
Angle dimensions can be inserted in 3d sketch simillar to 2d sketch, only the added thing you need to do is define the 2 or 3 axis using construction lines with along axis relations. For line in 3 axial angle you need to give atleast 2 angle relation. One is from one line to other and one is from line to construction line.
@@with-Aryan I'm coming from Creo 6.0 and just getting my feet wet. So basically I'm clueless on how the SW functionality works but I know what I want to do. Been using Creo since it was Pro-e, release 18. And 3D sketching looks really handy IMHO. Cool vids

I use 3d sketches for complex wire clips and wires, that way I can draw my path and then just do a swept boss.

Oh! I didn't even know about the CTRL key shortcut. That will help generally. I'm one of these half self-taught people you talked about.

Great video! No apologies needed. No one knows all the intricacies of Solidworks!
The geometry 'xyz' anytime you click to make a line. Please how to I make it appear on mine?

i know, what you need is a video under Weldments, maybe I'll do that

How do you Display and Add constraints so causal with shortcuts?
Constraints are displayed automatically for the selected entity, e.g I highlight a line and that shows me what are the constraints/relations to it at the moment, but otherwise I just hold down CTRL and select the two entities to add a new constraint from the small pop up menu that shows up, this is the fastest way to do things.
For 3d sketches you have to think 3d, also construction lines can be of great help. O do use it a lot for duct routing for my cotton gin plants.
easier said than done
Excellent tutorial, very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this video!😉
thank you for the feedback
Thankyou so much for allways teaching us new techniques.
You are welcome
Thanks, Aryan! Great tutorial!

When I draw my initial line and then rotate my view I am no longer able to keep drawing my line, like it just won't let me. Any clues why?
how do you rotate your view?
are you sure you chose the 3D sketch? It sounds like you chose the default sketch mode i.e. 2D
@@with-Aryan ohh okay yeah I think you are right. Thank you
I like your tutorial and style of explaining
Glad you liked it!
Maybe you know why in 3d sketch i can’t click on “fully define sketch” option, but in basic sketch i can click on this option?
your sketch is floating in a 3d space (3d sketches) and there are 6 DOFs for the sketch. But honestly, I havent noticed that. You really can't fully automate a 3D sketch? I'll check it when I go back to the office
Really Super, Amazing

From Bhutan....Sir,,, iam having problem with 3D sketch.When I add sketch plane to my model and when I double click to sketch plane it get disappear not even Dash line also ... so sir could solve my problem
sounds like a hardware issue! not the software. old pC?
Is it possible to convert 2D sketch to 3D sketch or I have to redraw it from scratch?
via convert entities you can
It's odd that you never mentioned the primary method of 3D sketching which is to hit the tab key in a 3D view to rotate the triad on the run. Give it a go It's even easier than any of the methods presented here.
how i can insert angle dimension in 3d sketch?
i dont think you can
unless you are using straight lines, you cannot
Angle dimensions can be inserted in 3d sketch simillar to 2d sketch, only the added thing you need to do is define the 2 or 3 axis using construction lines with along axis relations. For line in 3 axial angle you need to give atleast 2 angle relation. One is from one line to other and one is from line to construction line.
Sir how to convert DWG Autocad to SW quickly...
difficult. You have to import it and make it into 3d you cannot automatically have it done
You haven't explained much about fully defining the sketch... how do you set an angle between two lines on different planes?
Using construction lines with along xy, xz, yz etc relations.
Wouldn't Having the planes displayed make 3D sketching easier?
not really. but if it does for you, you should go for it

You never discussed why should you use 3d sketch instead of 2d sketch.
When you HAVE TO! you'll know when you have to, trust me. If you can take care of your job using 2D sketches, do it!
I kno this vdo making would be so difficult
Sir you look younger than your age :)
