* How can you work with such sketches ?
* 90° : the angle will change ? No -> vertical / horizontal constrains
* Do you need a spreadsheet ?
* Do you need so long names ? "Body_" ?
* Do you need to repeat the names in the sketches ? The sketch is not enough self-explanatory ?
* You should use
Sketcher_External (and master sketch ?).
* Do you need to repeat all your construction in each sketch ?
* 90° : the angle will change ? No -> vertical / horizontal constrains
-> vertical / horizontal constrains doesn't have directions and sometimes, when changing values the sketch can "break" by reverse begin point and end point of the segment. So , I use to use some 90° constraints to avoid these potentials issues.
* Do you need a spreadsheet ?
-> in case you want to adjust dimensions values and also when same dimensions are used several times in differents sketches, it is confortable to group dimensions in spreadsheet.
* Do you need so long names ? "Body_" ?
-> I don't think my bodies' name are so long. in case where you have lot of "operations" in one body, it is comfortable to have some explicit names
* Do you need to repeat the names in the sketches ? The sketch is not enough self-explanatory ?
-> I used to use names in sketches (as I can, the same name used in the spreadsheet). In case we have lot of dimensions defined in a spreadsheet, it is easier when I meet an issue in a sketch to check each dimension. Sometimes, it is not always easy to have an explicit name for a dimension it may possible to have a mistake and confusion between 2 dimensions.
What do you mean exactly by "repeat the names" ?
* You should use
Sketcher_External (and master sketch ?).
-> Yes, you're right
By having often "Topology naming" issues, I try to avoid any external references (segment, face). When this issue will be solved, I will newly use this very useful feature.
* Do you need to repeat all your construction in each sketch ?
-> for the same reasons, as the previous point, I try to avoid any external references (segment, face). So I duplicate "base" sketches to keep references with the main geometric marker (currently, there is no clone feature for sketches)
PS : with a clone feature for sketches, this approach wouldn't be so bad
