The Sketch panel provides quick access to some of the most frequently used
tools when sketching: Labels, Symbols, and Draw mode.
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.
