Sketch enhancements

This release features a few sketch-based enhancements that focus on repairing broken projected geometry and additional options for accessing iProperties in sketch-based text or 3D Annotations.

Fixing broken projected geometry

When modeling in Inventor, geometry can sometimes break due to associated sketches, dimensions, or geometry being deleted or changed. This often occurs when critical referenced geometry in the model browser has been changed or deleted. Associated sketches or geometry can then become broken or orphaned. Previously, this was a much more manual task to address, but now you can go to those sketches and repair or delete the broken projections. This is advantageous, as sometimes the geometry that needs to be changed is difficult to locate or identify.

The new workflow is to edit the sketch with the broken geometry – right-click the Sketch Browser node and select Broken Projections. This highlights the problematic geometry so that...
