Splines Using Control Points will pass near, but not through, the sketch points. When using the Spline Through Points tool, the spline curve will pass through the sketch points.

Splines - Sketch a spline curve using fit points or controls points.

You can also create an open ellipse by adding start and end points.

Ellipses - Sketch an ellipse by defining the center, width, and height.

Polygons - Sketch a regular polygon by defining the center and radius, or sketch a parallelogram by defining three corners.

Intersect - Extract curves resulting from the intersection of the sketch plane with selected parts.

Project - Project selected geometry onto the sketch plane.

Constraints Legend - Inspire now provides feedback as to whether a sketch is under-constrained or over-constrained in the new sketch legend.

You can apply variables when using most tools, and edit sketches using the new History Browser (F6). The new parametric sketching ribbon now features a constraints legend and a variety of new tools.

Users with a valid license for Altair Inspire (Concept Engineer Units) can download and install version 2021.1 free of charge through their account at Altair One Marketplace.

In addition, all edits to the geometry are now stored in the Construction History so that they can easily be modified afterwards. It can be used to draw accurate profiles driven by dimensions. A sketching capability similar to that of Altair Inspire Studio has been implemented. Inspire 2021.1 is now very close to a full-fledged CAD application and we expect less needing to switch back and forth between CAD and Inspire. With version 2021.1, Inspire is entering a new phase. Altair has released the 2021.1-edition of Altair Inspire, the most user friendly topology optimisation software to generate and explore structurally efficient concepts in the earliest phases of the design process.
