With the Fully Define Sketch tool, the SolidWorks application calculates which dimensions and relations are required to fully define an under defined sketch. You can access Fully Define Sketch at any point with any combination of dimensions and relations already added.

To fully define a sketch;

  1. In Edit Sketch mode, click Fully Define Sketch (Dimensions/Relations toolbar) or Tools, Relations, Fully Define Sketch.

    2. The Fully Define Sketch PropertyManager is displayed.

  2. Under Entities to Fully Define select either:
    • All entities in sketch
    • Selected entities
  3. Click Relations and choose Select all, Deselect all, or chose individual relations.
     
    In some sketches only certain relations and dimensions can fully define the sketch. Limiting your selection may prevent the sketch from being fully defined.
  4. Click Dimensions and select a dimension scheme and dimension placement.
  5. Click Calculate under Entities to Fully Define, then click .
