Sketcher#

Sketcher commands are used to define the entities, such as the geometry, constraints, and dimensions, to create a sketch and to store the values and attributes associated with a particular sketch.

Public Methods:

ConstrainedSketch(name, sheetSize[, ...])

This method creates a ConstrainedSketch object.

Inherited from ModelBase

`__init__`(name[, description, ...])	This method creates a Model object.
`ModelFromInputFile`(name, inputFileName)	This method creates a Model object by reading the keywords in an input file and creating the corresponding Abaqus/CAE objects.
`ModelFromOdbFile`(name, odbFileName)	This method creates a Model object by reading an output database and creating any corresponding Abaqus/CAE objects.
`ModelFromNastranFile`(modelName, inputFileName)	This method creates a Model object by reading the keywords in a Nastran bulk data file or Nastran input file and creating any corresponding Abaqus/CAE objects.
`setValues`([description, noPartsInputFile, ...])	This method modifies the Model object.
