About ZW3D Sketching
ZW3D™ features an easy to use sketcher for quickly defining 2D feature profiles and path curves.
A principle highlight is our Quick Draw function which facilitates creation of all common sketch geometry with a single command. An intelligent, highly interactive cursor helps define and capture intent. Geometry can be automatically dimensioned and constrained as it is created. 3D Part data can be easily referenced for constructing and locating sketch geometry.
