    Projected curve - Two sketches may be what you are looking for.

    Sketch on the x-y plane.

    Maybe what you're asking is, how do I CONSTRAIN my lines so that they are parallel to the X or Y. Or put another way, how do I make my lines perfectly horizontal or vertical.

    In using the line tool, you first click to set the start of a line, and then you move the cursor horizontally or vertically until you see the constraint symbol for either the horizontal or vertical, then click while the appropriate constraint is showing

    To be honest I also suffered from issues like this but finally I had out a guide on how to do it :


    • 1. Create a New Sketch
    • 2.Draw the Line
    • 3.Define the Line's Direction
    • 4.Dimension the Line 
    • 5.Finalize the Sketch 


    I hope this will solve your issue as it did for me when I was developing sketch for estafeta rastreo v1

    I would recommend the self-paced learning courses.
    1) learning center icon (next to help icon)
    2) self paced learning
    3) courses
    4) fundamentals (introduction to sketching) - start with this one. Good luck
