Modify Sketches

To modify your sketches, tap the Modify icon (  ). If you're using an iPhone or a similar device with a smaller screen, tap the Mode key on the upper left to switch to Modify Mode. Once you're in Modify mode, you can do things like rotate symbols, draw arcs, or move any element in your sketch:

1. In a sketch, tap the Modify icon (  ) to enter Modify Mode. If you're using an iPhone or a similar device with a smaller screen, press the mode icon on your sketch keyboard and select Modify.
   

   

   
2. Tap to select the item you want to modify in your sketch.
3. Then, adjust, move, or delete the item as needed:
   • To move an element like a symbol, label, line, or area, tap and drag the item or area to move it. For even more precise placement, tap to select any element and use the arrow keys on the sketch keyboard to move it in any direction. The amount of distance that the item moves is determined by the Length Snapping settings in TOTAL for Mobile's Sketch Settings.
   • To rotate a symbol, tap to select it (indicated by a yellow border) and use the green circle above the symbol to rotate it, or use the circular arrows (  ) to snap the symbol to common angles (45°, 90°, 135°, etc.).
     

     

     
   • To scale the size of a symbol, tap it to display the Height and Width parameters at the top of the sketch. Then, tap the width and height arrows to adjust the height and width of the symbol. Alternatively, simply tap and drag any of the handles (the green dots) that appear around the perimeter of a symbol when it is selected. When you're finished, tap a different area on the sketch canvas to apply your changes.
     

     

     
   • Select an element and press the Delete key on your keyboard to delete the selected item from your sketch.
