Tracing Over

You can refine an existing vector curve until you are satisfied with the result.

Vector curves are created using the number of points specified in the trace options.

Before you begin: Select a drawing plane and create a curve.
  1. From the Traces section of the action bar, tap Trace Over .
    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. Draw over the curve you want to refine as many times as necessary.


    Note: The number of points is automatically computed. You can right-tap the curve and modify the precision, using either the slider or entering a value in the Precision box. The higher the number of points, the higher the precision.

    You can also locally activate or deactivate the auto-match by tapping , whatever the option set in Natural Sketch: General.

  4. Modify the view so that the modification plane becomes the most seen plane.


  5. Draw over the curve you want to refine as many times as necessary.
    The vector curve is modified in the modification plane.

Note: You can freeze the selection by tapping the curve and unfreeze it either by tapping another curve or by tapping anywhere on the screen.
