Configuration Editor: Purposes for New Sketches

HiCAD automatically assigns a purpose to planar sketches upon their creation. One distinguishes between

Purpose = Part
Purpose = Create/Edit

Sketches with the purpose Create/Edit are, in principle, "auxiliary elements" from which other parts, processings and sectional views, detail views or cut-outs. Sketches with this purpose are visualized with broader lines in the active view. They are also visible in shaded models.

Sketches with the purpose Part are regarded as "normal" parts that are used as elements of the drawing. They distinguish themselves from sketches with the purpose Create/Edit as follows:

In cut-outs, sectional views and detail views the sketch will be cut.
The sketches have no special representation and are not shown in shaded models (without edges).
The sketch may contain technical tools such as centre lines, crosshairs etc.

In the Configuration Editor, at System settings > Sketches > Purpose for new sketches in ME grid (for a working with the Metal Construction plugin) you can specify which of the two purposes is to be assigned when a new sketch is created.

The default setting is Always Create/Edit.
