Description
This tool can be used to make a selected contour in sketcher closed by making an endpoint of a sketcher element coincident with the endpoint of the sketcher element selected next.
Usage
- While editing a sketch, multi-select your unconnected sketcher elements in the tree view or in the 3D view
- Invoke the command several ways:
- Press the
Close shape button. - Use the Z then W keyboard shortcut.
- Use the Sketch → Sketcher tools → Close shape entry from the top menu
- Press the
Notes
The tool will connect the elements in the order of their selection, so make sure to click and select in the correct order.
