Sketch in drawings

[ptc-2027409]

Hi everyone, i'm a real newbie in ProE's world. I used to be a user of Solidworks in my former job. So i'm carrying a lot of bad habits to loose I'm performing a drawing of a kind of screw. I'd like to represent the tool that will machine the thread of the body. How to add it in the drawing? Is there a way (as in SDW, sorry for the comparison) to make a simple sketch with dimensions and geometrical constraints to my working view of my drawing. I have looked for it for a long time and i begin to be depressed Thanks a lot!

Pro-E is very lacking in the 2d drawing types of stuff. There are snap constraints that you can use when you select a certain icon for sketching on the drawing. You must make sure to select the tab on the contraints reference box in order to use them. If you can view the pdf manual for Pro/Detail it can give you a little more information than I can through a forum post.

I'd use a datum curve in the part to represent the tool, and use layers to hide it in the model, and show it in the drawing.
