ProE Tip of the Week: Sketch Axis CreationSome sketched features (i.e. partial circles) don’t have an axis when the feature is complete. Use a geometry point in the sketch to add an axis to the extruded feature…
2
Sketch Axis Creation - Step #1: Start an extrude feature and sketch a half circle…
Give the half circle a thickness value of 1mm and extrude it 30mm
3
Sketch Axis Creation - Step #2: When the half circle feature is complete notice there is no axis at the center…
4
Sketch Axis Creation - Step #3: Redefine the extruded sketch and add a geometry point at the center of the circle…
GEOMETRY POINT: A geometry entity contains feature level information outside the sketcher. You can use it to reference for future sketches and features.

Sketch Axis Creation - Step #4: Complete the extruded feature and notice an axis at the center of the half circle…
