Different Sketch types

The document outlines three key types of 2D sketches in SOLIDWORKS: Closed Loop (Closed Contour), Open Loop (Open Contour), and Nested Loop (single, double, intersecting). Closed loops create solid features, while open loops and nested loops involve various configurations of contours. Additionally, it discusses sketch contours that select enclosed areas where sketch entities may intersect or violate standard sketch rules.

intersecting)
– One closed loop inside another
(Concentric circles).

• Nested Loop (single, double,
intersecting)
– Example: Intersecting contours.

– Select enclosed areas
where the sketch
entities themselves
actually cross or
otherwise violate the
usual sketch rules.
