Man Solidoworks has let me down. They say they have 3D sketching, its not 3D its 2D at a time, such as XY or XZ or YZ etc. My CAM package FeatureCAM at work has whats called 3D and I can create lines or spllines or points in X, Y and Z at the same time. I notcie if you start creating in 3D all you get is 2D lines. I'm not sure I can get used to working in 2 planes at a time. Anybody have any hints? Thanks for your time.
Solidworks 3D sketching is not 3D, its in 2 planes at a time.

Any straight line is in 2D. Just select the plane you will draw on. The curves we can easily draw are in one plane. For more complex curves, see 'projected curves'

You have to make sure you're not drawing in any plane or in a straight direction. You can click the end point any where and then define it's X Y & Z coordinates.
