Modify Sketch – SOLIDWORKS Tech Tip
Modify sketch is a powerful tool that can manipulate the sketch location and orientation at a global level, meaning it can be adjusted without rebuilding the sketch relations. Mirror, rotate, translate or scale the sketch from a single dialog to make adjustments quickly. Keep an eye on the origin icon, as it contains multiple additional commands to manipulate the sketch orientation beyond what the dialog shows. Keep in mind that the rotation is global, meaning the definition of “vertical,” and “horizontal” is also adjusted, so it can sometimes be confusing to work in after rotation.
