CATIA V5 R20 101 - Sketcher 

Course Overview

The Sketcher course is designed to teach you basic 3D wireframe elements and the CATIA V5 R20 Sketcher workbench. In addition to learning about reference features and geometry creation, you’ll also learn about sketch operations, constraints, and dimensions. Upon completion of this course, you’ll have a better understanding of how to use your sketches more effectively.

Intended Audience

Designers, Design Engineers, and Manufacturing Engineers who need to create sketches and sketch-based features in CATIA.

Course Prerequisites

100 – User Interface (or equivalent experience).
