- GuiCommand: Name:Sketcher NewSketch MenuLocation:Sketch → Create sketch Workbenches:Sketcher SeeAlso:PartDesign NewSketch, Sketcher MapSketch, Sketcher Reorient
This will create a new sketch.
Note that the 
PartDesign Workbench has its own new sketch tool, when working on a PartDesign body it is preferable to use that tool.
Clicking on the icon without a face (pre-)selected will pop up a dialog asking if the sketch should be drawn on the
- XY-Plane
- XZ-Plane
- YZ-Plane
You can change an offset to any of the three planes and the side of the offset.
Clicking on the icon with a (pre-selected) face will cause the sketch to be mapped to the selected face.
The sketch can be re-mapped to another already existing face using the Sketcher MapSketch command.
The sketch can be moved in the 3D view using Placement.
