FreeStyle Sketch Tracer in a Nutshell

The FreeStyle Sketch Tracer is a new-generation tool used to import stylist's drawings into the 3D
world.
Using this product you can convert 2D images into a 3D scene to create 3D geometry from your hand
drawings, or other source such as pictures. You position the 3D model in relation to the sketch and,
in conjunction with other products, create geometric outlines directly over the sketches.
The FreeStyle Sketch Tracer User's Guide has been designed as an aid to using the FreeStyle Sketch
Tracer by itself, but also in conjunction with other FreeStyle products or any other workbench.
Before Reading this Guide

Before reading this guide, you should be familiar with basic Version 5 concepts such as document
windows, standard and view toolbars. Therefore, we recommend that you read the Infrastructure
User's Guide that describes generic capabilities common to all Version 5 products. It also describes
the general layout of V5 and the interoperability between workbenches.
You may also like to read the following complementary product guides:

Selecting an Image File
When creating an Immersive Sketch or an Immersive Sketch Using a Screenshot, you are prompted
to select an image file.
It can be:
tiff
jpeg
bitmap
raw
psd
You can now select a Photoshop image file from the drop-down list. This new format lets you
manage layers in Photoshop.
Setting Transparency on Paintings

This new capability enables to modify the transparency graphic attribute to handle more easily the
geometry through the paintings. Indeed you can position the paintings before the geometry and still
be able to visualize it.
To do so, simply right-click the painting and select the Properties contextual item. In the Graphic tab,
drag the Transparency slider to set the appropriate value to make the part more or less transparent
(between 0 and 255).

Page 24
Page 25
This task shows you how to define the position of a sketch according to a cylindrical view: front, top, bottom or side view within the
document.
Generally speaking, sketch positioning is done in three steps:
1. defining the import view, in relation to the document view defined using the standard View toolbar (Quick View sub-toolbar).
2. positioning the local axis-system (model axis) onto the image
3. scaling the image in relation to the geometry within the document using information from the image: the distance between two points
along one of the model axis direction, thus setting the rectangle's or the line's size. Then it may be necessary to zoom in or out to get
the rectangle or the line to match these two points, using local manipulators.
An image has been loaded as described in Creating an Immersive Sketch.
1. From the View toolbar, choose the Left View icon

2. From the Sketch Parameters dialog box, choose the Set cylindrical view icon.
The image size is indicated in the dialog box, for information.

A dashed rectangular frame is displayed representing the size of the image, and scale in relation to the document. Several
manipulators are available, to help you scale and position the sketch properly:
The displayed axis-system allows you to define the document's origin.
to define the document's origin:
to set the size: drag the arrow one way or the other, or right-click an arrow, choose the Edit contextual menu and specify a value:
to set the dimension: click the tag to edit the dimension:
to rotate the rectangular frame about the model axis:
to zoom in or out the image in relation to the document, thus scaling it. The rectangle's size remains unchanged:
to perform a scaling and rotation, as described above, at the same time:
Two options are available from the dialog box:
Using a cube
This option enables you to define the view using a rectangle.
The loaded image looks like this:
Page 26
Page 27
1. Move the pointer over the axis-system's middle point and position it at the correct location.
2. Release the axis-system's middle point when you are satisfied with its position.
3. Define the axis orientation:
click the Flip arrow at any time to invert the orientation and therefore the rectangular frame. (See also Copying/Pasting a
Sketch.)
right-click the Flip arrow to change the orientation and set another axis.
4. Move over to one of the frame's corner to define the model size.
5. With the pointer over the Size manipulator, right-click and choose the Edit contextual menu item.
The Tuner dialog box is displayed, allowing you to enter exact values, in relation to the document's origin.
If you move the manipulators, the model size does not change.
You can also be simply drag the Size manipulator to the correct location, provided the scaling already is correct.
The results may be something like this, with the rectangular frame's limit outside the image's limits, which may not correspond to
your needs.
6. Using the Zoom manipulator, zoom the image in or out to define the image scale in relation to the geometry.
The rectangular frame's size being retained, the image is in fact zoomed, thus defining the scale.
Once the scale has been defined using the zoom in one direction, you do not need to redefine it in the other direction.
7. Check and, if needed, modify the size in the other direction.

It is best not to use the zooming capability in both directions, but rather to set it once for the whole image
Using a Line
This option enables you to define the view using a line.
Page 28
Page 29
1. Move the pointer over the first point and position it at the correct location.
2. Release the point when you are satisfied with its position (it is not necessarily the origin).
3. Perform the same operation with the second point.

The cylindrical view is now aligned.
4. Define the axis orientation:
click the Flip arrow at any time to invert the orientation and therefore the rectangular frame. (See also Copying/Pasting a
Sketch.)
right-click the Flip arrow to change the orientation and set another axis.
5. Define the model size.

6. With the pointer over the Size manipulator, right-click, and choose the Edit contextual menu item.
The Tuner dialog box is displayed, allowing you to enter exact values, in relation to the document's origin
If you move the manipulators, the model size does not change.
7. Click the Stretch option to allow the manipulation and distortion of the image.
Two new manipulators are displayed to:
modify the handle position and define the stretch origin:
Page 30
Page 31
stretch the image:
8. Define the stretch origin using the circle manipulator.

9. Use the arrows to stretch the image or right-click and choose the Edit contextual menu item.
The circle is displayed in dotted lines, meaning that the origin can no longer be modified.
Here is the result of a distortion:
To cancel the distortion applied to the image, simply click the Reset button or right-click the circle manipulator and choose the
Edit contextual menu item.
3. Once you are satisfied with both the image size and the rectangular frame positioning, click OK in the dialog box.
The image has been imported into the .CATProduct document and a Painting feature is added to the specification tree.
You can now manipulate the image as any element into a .CATProduct or .CATPart document.
You can trim the image itself, using the manipulators on the solid green frame.
Click on the Focus Off text at the bottom of the image to reset the image parallel to the screen. You can also choose the
Activate Viewpoint contextual menu.
Once you have clicked this text, it changes to Focus On and lets you zoom or move (grabbing the red triangles) the
image within the document, independently of the compass. Note that you cannot rotate the image.
To return to standard document manipulations, click the Focus On text, or choose the Deactivate Viewpoint
contextual menu.
Page 32
This task shows you how to define the position of a sketch according to a conical view.
Generally speaking, sketch positioning is done in three steps:
1. defining the import view, in relation to the document view defined using the standard View toolbar (Quick View sub-toolbar).
2. positioning the local axis-system (model axis) onto the image
3. scaling the image in relation to the geometry within the document using information from the image: the distance between two points
along one of the model axis direction, thus setting the cube's size. Then it may be necessary to zoom in or out to get the cube to
match these two points, using local manipulators.
From the samples directory, select the Phone1.tif image.
1. From the Sketch Parameters dialog box, choose the Set conical view icon.
You do not need to define a view in the View toolbar to import the sketch.
The image size is indicated in the dialog box, for information.
Page 33
A dashed cubic frame is displayed representing the size of the image, and scale in relation to the document. Several manipulators are
available, to help you scale and position the sketch properly:
The displayed axis-system allows you to define the document's origin.
to define the document's origin:
to set the size: drag the arrow one way or the other, or right-click an arrow, choose the Edit contextual menu and specify a value:
to set the dimension: click the tag to edit the dimension:
to rotate the cubic frame around X axis:
to rotate the cubic frame around Y axis:
to rotate the cubic frame around Z axis:
to zoom in or out the image in relation to the document, thus scaling it. The rectangle's size remains unchanged.:
to perform a scaling and rotation, as described above, at the same time:
to adjust the cube to the view:
2. Move the pointer over the axis-system's middle point and position it at the correct location.
3. Release the axis-system's middle point when you are satisfied with its position.
4. Right-click the the Flip arrow to define the axis orientation. You can either:
inverse the orientation using the Flip options, or
change the orientation and set another axis using the Set to options
Page 34
Page 35
5. Define the cube rotation around three axes:
around X
around Y
around Z
6. Set the vanishing line using the perspective manipulators to adjust the cube to the view.
7. Move the pointer over the Size manipulator, right-click, and choose the Edit contextual menu item.
The Tuner dialog box is displayed, allowing you to enter exact values, in relation to the document's origin to define the model's size.
You can also click the value tag to display the Tuner dialog box, or simply drag the Size manipulator to the correct location,
provided the scaling already is correct.
Page 36
8. Once you are satisfied with both the image size and the cubic frame positioning, click OK in the dialog box.
You can now manipulate the image as any element into a .CATProduct or .CATPart document.
You can click the Flip text at any time to invert the axis orientation, and therefore the rectangular frame. (See also
Copying/Pasting a Sketch)
You can also trim the image itself, using the manipulators on the solid green frame.
Click on the Focus Off text at the bottom of the image to reset the image parallel to the screen. You can also choose the

Tracer
When working with ENOVIA V5, the safe save mode ensures that you only create data in CATIA
that can be correctly saved in ENOVIA. Therefore, in interoperability mode, some CATIA V5
commands are grayed out / hidden in the Sketch Tracer workbench.
ENOVIA V5 offers two different storage modes: Workpackage (Document kept - Publications
Exposed) and Explode (Document not kept).
To ensure seamless integration, you must have both a CATIA and ENOVIA session running.
Please find below the list of the Sketch Tracer commands along with their accessibility status in
Enovia V5. In some cases, restriction rules apply to certain commands.
