\r
103 segment and arc. The
\r
104 curve is created from the current point (center of coordinates when the
\r
105 sketcher is started). The
\r
106 end of the curve is defined by means of "destination", which
\r
107 can be a destination point (for segment only) or destination direction
\r
108 coupled with length of a segment or angle and radius of an arc.</p>
\r
112 <p>Sketcher is able to create planar curves only. Therefore, it is necessary
\r
113 to select a working plane before starting a sketch (by default, XOY plane
\r
114 is used). Sketcher creates curves lying in the current working plane (New
