Description

Digitize new string data in sketch mode, where nodes are added automatically, based on cursor/stylus/finger movement. This behaviour is enforced regardless of the current Auto Node switch settings.

A sketch will be drawn as a strings data type, using the current strings object formatting. If no strings object exists, one will be created.

This command supports undo and redo functions.

If accessing this command from the Mapping dialog, you can define the sketch colour, linestyle and width beforehand. Each use of the Sketch button will generate a new string entity within the current sketches object.

How to Use

1. Run the command.

2. Start sketching in any 3D view. Cursor/finger/stylus movement will create a free-form sketch line.

3. Click Done to complete the sketching operation or just double-click (left or right) to finish (see below).

Tip: Whilst digitizing, you can complete the digitizing operation by double-clicking or double-tapping the final string vertex position. You can also complete the digitizing operation by closing the string.

This command does not support right-click (or equivalent) snapping but does honour the current Auto Snap setting.
