Sometimes drawings need additional geometry created to help showcase a certain area of the model or give additional communication. This is where the Geometry Creation Toolbar comes in handy as shown in Figure 1. This toolbar allows the user to sketch out additional shapes much like the Sketcher Workbench. An example of additional geometry created is shown in Figure 2.

These shapes can be manipulated and changed by selecting on them and dragging. If CATIA is not allowing you to manipulate the geometry, go to: Tools > Options > Mechanical Design > Drafting > Geometry and turn on the “Allow Direct Manipulation” option as shown in Figure 3.

The rectangle shape was selected and changed as shown in Figure 4.
*This option comes in handy when working with splines*
