When starting a new sketch, it is recommended that you:

• Start drawing at the origin when starting a new part

or

• Start drawing at a known point of an existing feature

The SKETCH Toolbar is at the top of the browser sketch window

• Depending on the size of your browser window, some tools may be located in a pull down menu.
• Pull Down Menu's are shown by blue triangle arrows (Pointing Down) next to an icon on the Sketch toolbar.

With Onshape Sketching, the following shapes can be created. Succeeding web pages will explain how to create each shape.

• Lines
• Rectangles (Squares)
• Circles
• Arcs (Partial Circles)
• Regular Polygons (Triangle, Pentagon, hexagon,,,,)
• Splines (Irregular Curve)
• Points
