Is there a tool to draw construction lines on DesignModeler?

[Sandeep Medikonda]

Based on the question, it is not clear what you want to do with the line. You can create sketches with lines or even create lines from sketches or points or existing geometry

You can use that for building additional geometry. 

There are options to create lines to use as a reference for other sketches. Check sketching/draw toolbars.

Sandeep, thanks for your reply. I am inquiring if there is an option for drawing construction lines on DesignModeler similar to most CAD software like Creo and Solidworks. For example, let's say I want to create a 2D rhombus grid before I start sketching or even a few concentric circle before I start sketching a gear (like in the photo below). Construction lines are reference lines that are not shown in the final sketch. I went over the link you have attached, but information on construction line and reference line is not there.

You can create all your circular lines in one sketch. Then in a different sketch draw your part. You can use the lines created in your first sketch and reference them to specify dimensions etc.
