Summary

Sketching is useful for creating irregular boundaries or for tracing with a digitizer. Specify the object type (line, polyline, or spline), increment, and tolerance before sketching.

List of Prompts

The following prompts are displayed.

Sketch or [Type/Increment/toLerance]:

Sketch

Creates a sketch.

Type

Specifies the object type for the sketch line. (SKPOLY system variable)

• Line
• Polyline
• Spline

Increment

Defines the length of each freehand line segment. You must move the pointing device a distance greater than the increment value to generate a line. (SKETCHINC system variable)

Tolerance

For Splines, specifies how closely the spline’s curve fits to the freehand sketch. (SKTOLERANCE system variable)
