Tracing Primitives

You can create curves and turn them into primitive curves.

Before you begin: Select a drawing plane.
  1. From the Traces section of the action bar, tap Primitives .
    Options are available in the Graphic Properties frame at the right of the screen.
  2. Optional: Set your Trace options as desired.
    OptionDescription
    Opacity (%) Drag the slider or edit the value to define the opacity of the curve (as a percentage).
    Thickness (mm) Drag the slider or edit the value to define the curve thickness.
    Note: You can set your trace options at any time while tracing.
  3. Start tracing.


  4. Stop tracing.
    The curve is turned into a primitive when you lift the pen or release the pointer.

    You can trace primitive curves with circles, open circles, lines and polylines. If no polyline can be created, the curve remains as is.

    Notes:
    • The number of points is automatically computed. You cannot modify the number by yourself.
    • You cannot locally deactivate the auto-match.
