Sketch Picture PropertyManager

To open the Sketch Picture PropertyManager, in an open sketch, do one of the following:

  • Insert a new sketch picture. Click Sketch Picture (Sketch toolbar) or click Tools > Sketch Tools > Sketch Picture, then browse to the picture and click Open.
  • Double-click an existing sketch picture.

The Sketch Picture PropertyManager includes two pages. Use and to move between them.

The second page of the Sketch Picture PropertyManager is available only by enabling the Autotrace tool as an add-in. Click Tools > Add-Ins and select Autotrace in the dialog box.
From the Sketch Picture PropertyManager you can:
  • Insert sketch pictures onto either side of a sketch plane, and control the transparency of the images.
    Use transparency when two images occur on parallel planes to control the display of each image. Sketch picture transparency is not supported when the transparency intersects a second sketch picture that also includes transparency.
  • Convert raster data to vector data, and create features from the sketched vector data.
