- In a previous video I talked about some sketch options
that were a part of the sketch internal to the sketch
now there's a few options that I do need to talk about
very important because you may experience a different
environment based off of these options and that environment
is something that as you enter in from the modeling
application needs to be checked.
So I'm gonna go all the way up to the menu button and I'm
gonna go back down to preferences now you'll notice here
in this video that preferences have a longer list of
preferences because I'm in the modeling application
and because of that the modeling application is sort of
the one that sits above all of the other applications so
I have a larger suite of preferences available to me and
the one that I want to go into is modeling.
Previously I spoke about sketch you can change
those settings here as well,
but currently I'm just going to go into modeling and once
I go into modeling you'll notice that I have all sorts of
preferences that I can set straight out of the box and
where I want to go to is all the way at the top to
this little edit tab.
I'm going to click on the edit tab.
You'll notice that I have several options
as far as actions that happen when I double click
on something so one of the options
that you want to make sure is set is to do
what's called edit with roll back when you're
working in the context of let's say a large part you have
lots of sketches and solids and extrude revolves and
features what edit with roll back will do it'll take
the model back to that moment in time that the sketch
was created just makes things much easier to edit.
The other thing that you want to do is under the edit sketch
action is you wanna make sure that
this says task environment and you'll notice that there's
that direct edit.
Again when I first started talking about sketch several
videos ago we mentioned the different sketching environments
so here I wanna make sure that the environment that we go
into when we make a modification is the same environment
that we went into when we initially created that sketch
in this case the test environment.
If you don't have this set and you use direct edit nothing
bad is gonna happen it's just the environment doesn't change
it's not as obvious that you're in the task environment
you'll still have the same tools,
you'll still have the same capabilities,
it's just a direct sketch or direct edit is basically
you're working within the modeling application but
adjusting the sketch whereas the task environment is a
separate sketch environment and it's just a little
easier for people to see that demarcation.
So my recommendation for ease of use to come in and
and switch your edit sketch action to task environment
if it's not already set for you.
