-The 2D Sketcher allows you to create a profile made of curves of 2 types: line segments and arcs.
+The 2D Sketcher allows you to draw 2D shapes on a working plane. You can create on this plane:
-<b>Example:</b>
+<ul>
+<li> A \b profile made of connected curves of 2 types: <b>line segments</b> and \b arcs.
+
+\b or
+
+<li> A \b rectangle
+</ul>
+
+The \b Result is a \b Wire

To create a <b> 2D Sketch</b>:
<ol>
-<li>In the main menu select <em>New Entity -> Basic -> 2D Sketch</em> or click on \image html sketch.png </li>
+<li>In the main menu select <b>New Entity -> Basic -> 2D Sketch</b> or click on \image html sketch.png </li>
+
+<li> Select the \b plane or the <b>planar face</b> on which to create the sketch.
+\note By default the sketch is created on the XOY plane of the global coordinate system.
+If Local Coordinate Systems have been created in the study they appear in the combobox and can be selected as reference coordinate system.</li>
-<li> Select the plane or the planar face on which to create the sketch. By default the sketch is created on the XOY plane of the global coordinate system.
-If Local Coordinate systems have been created in the study they appear in the combobox and can be selected as reference coordinate system.</li>
+<li> Choose a \b segment or an \b arc element to start a \b profile or choose \b rectangle to draw a rectangle.
+
+\n If you draw a \b profile:
<li> Select a start point. By default the start point of the curve is located at the point of
-origin of the reference coordinate system and the curve lies in the
-plane XOY.</li>
+origin of the reference coordinate system.</li>
<li> Create curve portions and click on \b Apply after each step.</li>
<li> Select either \b Close or <b>Sketch Closure</b> if you want to close the profile before closing the window.</li>
</ol>
-To create a \b Segment:
+\n To create a \b Segment:
<ol>
<li> In the <b>Element Type</b> part of the dialog box select:
\image html line_icon.png </li>
-<li> You can define the segment by either it's <b>end point</b> or a \b direction and a length. The direction is defined relatively to the tangent at the last point of the sketch. It can be:
-
- - Tangent (colinear to the tangent at the last point)
- - Perpendicular
- - Defined by an angle
- - Defined by a vector (Vx, Vy)

+\n To create an \b Arc:
<ol>
<li> In the <b>Element Type</b> part of the dialog box select \image html arc_icon.png </li>
</ol>
-For the first segment or arc of the sketch the reference direction is the X direction of the reference coordinate system.
