Inventor 101: Sketch Constraints

Setting up sketch constraints can help streamline the way you design. Using these dimensioning constraints, you can quickly transform simple components of a 2D sketch into the exact extruded part you need. Utilizing these drawing methods from the get-go will allow you to ensure speed and accuracy along the way. Not only can utilizing sketch constraints make creating a part faster, but it can also ensure proper dimensioning in your end design as well.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the options:
