2.11. -The geometric relations are represented graphically by small icons next to

each sketch element. Notice that when we move the mouse pointer over a

geometric relation icon, the entity or entities that share the relation are highlighted.

To delete a geometric relation, select the relation icon in the screen and

press the "Delete" key, or right-mouse-click on the Geometric Relation icon

and select "Delete." (Do not delete any relations at this time!)

The Sketch Origin shows the sketch's Horizontal direction (short red

arrow) and Vertical direction (long red arrow). It's important to be aware of the

sketch's "orientation" when working in 3D, since we may be looking at the part in

a different orientation, and the "sketch vertical" may not necessarily be "up" on the

screen. This is a visual indicator to let us know where the vertical direction ("up")

is in the sketch regardless of which way we are looking at it. In SOLIDWORKS we

have the following basic types of geometric relations for sketch entities:

~- - --- - -- - -- - --- - -- - --- - -- - -- - --- - -- - --- - -- - -- - --- - -- - ------ - -- - --- - -- - ------ - -- - --- - -- - ------ - -- - --- - -- - - ~ -- - -- - -- - --- - -- - --- - -- - -- - --- - -- - --- - -- - -- - --- - -- - --- - -- - -- - --- - -- - --- - -- - -- - --- - -- - --- - -- - -- - --- - -- - --- - -- - -- - --- - -- - --- - -- - -- - --- - -- - --- - -- - -- - --- - -- - --- - -- - -- - --- - -- - --- - -- - -- - --- - -- - -
