Sketcher palette

[Márk Dávid]

How do I add a sketch to the sketcher palette in PTC Creo 2.0 Parametric? I have a profile section in .sec format and I would like to import this to the sketcher palette.


Thank You for your time

Put the sec file in the working directory. It will then be able to load into the palette.

You can also put the sec in a library folder and use config option sketcher_palette_path

You can open the "draw_symbol_palette.drw" (in the "common files/Mxxx/symbols/palette" folder), insert your sketch and save.

I don't believe this is correct. Symbol Palette is for symbols that you will add on a drawing e.g welding symblols. Sketcher Palette is used in modeling sketcher and default location is C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 2.0\F000\Common Files\text\sketcher_palette where you will find the shapes categorized as Polygons, Profiles, Shapes and Stars. You can add a new folder and it will show up as a tab in the sketcher palette interface.

Magnusod - you are correct. I misread what he was asking for. Just one of those days!!
