SKETCH (Command)

Creates a series of freehand line segments.

Find

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.

The following prompts are displayed.

Sketch

Creates a sketch.

Type

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

  • Line
  • Polyline
  • Spline
Note: The PLINETYPE system variable controls the type of 2D polyline created when Type is set to Polyline.
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)
