Description

Many geometry creation tools from the Draft and Arch workbenches allow you to activate the continue checkbox. If continue mode is on, the drawing tool will restart after you finish with it, allowing you to draw another object with the same tool, without pressing the tool button again.

This allows you to create several objects in a row until you deactivate the continue checkbox or exit the tool.

Usage

  1. Invoke a command such as Draft Line or Arch Wall.
  2. Press the Toggle continue mode checkbox.
  3. Use the tool normally, placing various lines or walls, one after the other.
  4. Press Esc or the Close button to abort the current command; objects already placed will remain.
