Lets you draw a single line, a line string, or a closed shape, on the face of a solid.

Where the drawn line, or line string, does not connect with an existing edge of the face, it is extended to the existing edge automatically.

Lets you draw a rectangular shape on the face of a solid.

Lets you draw a circular shape on the face of a solid.

Lets you imprint curves onto the face of a solid. Where the required face is behind another in the view, you can select the nearest face then enter Resets until the required face highlights.

Lets you draw lines offset from edges of the face of a solid. These edges can include edges previously drawn on the face of the solid.

You can locate edges inward (towards the solid) or outward (away from solid) by moving the AccuDraw Compass in one of those directions.

(Offset Edges on only) Sets the method used to select edges to be offset.

• Loop — Selects all edges surrounding the selection point on the face of the solid.

• Edges — Lets you select one or more edges on a face of a solid. Use <ctrl+data points> to select additional edges.

(Offset Edges on only) Sets the distance between selected edges and the drawn edges.

(Offset Edges on only) The original edges selected on the face are retained. Typically, these are edges that have been drawn on the face of the solid previously.

(Imprint Curves on only) The original curves imprinted on the solid are retained.

When using the Draw Line tool to draw a shape, closes the element between the first and last points.

(Draw Line on only) The first data point click determines the start point of the line. If an edge or vertex is selected, moving the AccuDraw Compass slightly selects the face to draw on (and orients AccuDraw relative to the face). If the solid is selected by clicking the data button on a face, the face is selected automatically.
