    The sketch command in CAD allows users to create irregular boundaries or trace digitized objects by generating a series of freehand line segments. When using sketch, users must specify the type of object to create (line, polyline, or spline), the increment distance determining how far the pointing device must move to generate each new segment, and an optional tolerance for splines controlling how closely the curve fits the sketch. The sketch then prompts the user to draw the freehand sketch.

    BASIC CAD (CAD 311)

    TOPIC: SKETCH (Command)

    Creates a series of freehand line segments.

    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
    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)
