Sketching

Use the Sketch command to draw freehand. A sketch consists of many straight Line segments.

To sketch:

1. Click Draw > Sketch (or type Sketch).
2. Do one of the following:
   • On the menu, click Draw > Sketch.
   • Type Sketch.
3. Type the record increment (length of the sketch segments).
4. Specify an option:
   • Erase: Deletes parts of temporary sketch Lines drawn previously.
   • Connect: Lowers the pen to continue sketching from the end point of the last sketched Line or last Erase.
   • Pen: Lowers or lifts the sketching pen.
   • Quit: Discards all temporary sketch segments since the start of the command, or since the last use of the Record option. The command terminates.
   • Record: Records temporary segments as permanent.
   • Exit: Records the temporary segments and terminates the command.
5. In the graphics area, click to start sketching (lower the pen).
6. Click again to interrupt sketching (lift the pen). Continue clicking to lower and lift the pen.
7. Press Enter to make the temporary sketch permanent and end the command.
