In advance, thank you for your answer.

Hello

Thank you for the answer, I knew the classic sketches, the one with a copy of a link or isolated but absolutely not the sliding or positioned ones.

Why are they used?

Thanks again for the answer.

Kind regards.

Slippery is the one you call classic, it's the default.

The sketch is placed on the selection (a flat surface or a plane) its origin corresponds to the normal projection of the origin of the CATPart on the selected support, the orientation of the H and V axes depends on the position of the support.

In short, you don't know anything about the origin and orientation of these axes, it's CATIA that does it.

Positioned , you have to open the chevron of the sketch toolbar to access it, it is underneath.

Unlike a sliding sketch, the window that opens allows you to select the support, then the origin and finally a direction with these three elements , you decide where and how to place the sketch marker.

I'll let you watch the tutorial Positioned sketch

EDIT: an existing sliding sketch can be turned into a positioned and vice versa

Right-click on Sketch / Sketch Object / Edit Sketch Media.
