The Sketch panel provides quick access to some of the most frequently used
tools when sketching: Labels, Symbols, and Draw modes.
Labels
The Labels section is displayed by default in the
Sketch Panel and lists all of the stock labels built-in to
TOTAL Sketch as well as any custom labels you've created.
|
- To add a label to your sketch, simply select it from the list and
then click the desired location on your sketch to place it.
- To add the same label multiple times to different areas of your
sketch, check Stamp Mode at the top of the list before
selecting a label. Then, click to place your label in each location.
When you're finished, simply uncheck the Stamp Mode
option.
- To create a one-time label without adding it to your list of labels,
click Custom Label at the top of the list, click the
desired location on your sketch to place your cursor, type the text as
you want it to appear, and press Enter to add it to
your sketch.
- To add a new label to your list, or to modify and delete any
existing labels, click Edit List… at the bottom.
