Quick Draw
Insert (Sketch Level)
Insert (Drawing Sheet Level)
Use this command to draw a variety of geometry
types without changing commands. You
can specify multiple line or curve segments to be connected or tangent
by selecting the appropriate symbol. You
can draw lines,
tangent
arcs, 3
point arcs, radius
arcs, circles,
and curves.
Select the first point to draw
from.
Notice that the two symbols 
(C0) and 
(Tangent)
are displayed next to the selected point. These
symbols indicate the tangency condition at this point. The
symbol in the green box is currently active. By
default the 
(C0) tangency condition is active. Selecting
the first point again will toggle the active tangency condition.
With the (C0)
tangency condition active, select another point to draw a line or additional
points to draw a series of connected line segments.
You can activate the (C0) tangency condition anytime
to draw lines from the last point selected.

the first point again will toggle the active tangency condition.
Select the first point again
to toggle the active tangency condition to 
(Tangent).
Select the endpoint of the arc.
It will remain tangent to the first point.
You can activate the (Tangent) condition anytime to
draw a connected arc that is tangent to the previous segment.
Middle-click when you want to

Select the first point to draw
from.
Notice that the two symbols (C0) and (Tangent)
are displayed next to the selected point. These
symbols indicate the tangency condition at this point. The

the first point again will toggle the active tangency condition.
With the (C0)
tangency condition active press and hold the Alt key and select
the endpoint of the 3 point arc.
Select the midpoint of the arc.
You can activate the (C0) tangency condition anytime
to draw a connected 3 point arc from the last point selected.
Middle-click when you want to

Select the first point to draw
from.
Notice that the two symbols (C0) and (Tangent)
are displayed next to the selected point. These
symbols indicate the tangency condition at this point. The

default the (C0) tangency condition is active. Selecting
the first point again will toggle the active tangency condition.
With the (C0)
tangency condition active press and hold the Alt key and select
the endpoint of the arc.
Select a through
point or enter the arc radius.
There is a choice of four possible arcs.
Highlight and select the appropriate
arc.
You can activate the (C0) tangency condition anytime
to draw a radius arc from the last point selected.
Middle-click when you want to
terminate Quick Draw.
Press and hold
the Alt key and select the center of the circle.
Enter the radius of the circle
or pick a point on the diameter of the circle.

Quick Draw Curve
Through Points
Select the first point to draw
from.
Notice that the two symbols (C0) and (Tangent)
are displayed next to the selected point. These
symbols indicate the tangency condition at this point. The
symbol in the green box is currently active. By
default the (C0) tangency condition is active. Selecting
the first point again will toggle the active tangency condition.
With the (C0) tangency condition active press and
hold the Alt key and select the second and third points on the
curve.
Continue selecting points on
the curve. You
don't need to press the Alt key after the third point.
Notice that as you select additional points on the curve its end (the
first point) is allowed to move freely. You
can place a tangency constraint on the end of the curve by activating
the (Tangent) condition at the first point. You
can define the first point of the curve anytime to draw a connected curve
segment.
Drawing Curves with Quick Draw
In (Tangent)
mode a line is automatically created if the next point is a linear extension
of the last point.
You use the Input Options Menu (right-click) to further constrain the selection of any point.
