Sketching solidworks in 2D format is done by clicking Sketch in the Command Manager or by activating the Sketch feature.
Sketch is the most common type of feature.
Sketching in parametric software is different from drawing lines in 2D CAD.
SolidWorks sketches are parametric. that is, we can make a sketch which changes accordingly
the rules.
Apart from 2D sketches, SolidWorks can also create 3D sketches. But 2D sketching is much more widely used.
We make a 2D sketch on the selected plane or
planar surface and then use it to create shapes for features like Extrude, Revolve, and
etc. Relationships in 2D sketches are often made between sketched entities and other edges of the model
which may or may not be in the sketch area. In situations where other entities are not in the sketch
plane, the entity outside the plane is projected onto the sketch plane in the direction normal to
plane sketch. This is not the case for 3D sketching.
You can use 3D sketching for the Hole Wizard, routing, welding and complex shapes
creation, among other applications.

The relationship persists through changes and allows us to move the sketch elements dynamically
with the cursor on the screen. Settings to enable or disable showing sketch relationships
symbols found in View, Sketch Relations.
If we drag one of the infinite corners, the two neighboring lines follow the end point drawn. This is useful when we are experimenting with changes to the sketch as you can see the new and old status
sketch. Settings to enable or disable can be found in Tools , Options , Sketch , Draw on Drag.
Callout solidworks are boxes of text that appear in the graphic area when we use certain tools. Makes it easy for us to click, move, and adjust parameters dynamically without leaving the graphic area. Callouts help distinguish different entities. For example, info that shows the profile of a sweep and sweep path. We can do it by dragging to reposition it, but we cannot use it to change the property of the entity they are referring to. Some info, such as for chamfers, will display numbers that you can edit or change to manipulate the size of the entity. The long span handle is extruded. Drag the handle to the desired extrusion depth, and the handle covers the length.
