Creating freehand sketches

Before you begin creating a freehand sketch, you must set the length, or increment, of each segment. The smaller the segments, the more accurate your sketch, but segments that are too small can greatly increase the file size

After you specify the length of the sketch segments, the crosshairs change to a Pencil tool. Your freehand sketch is not added to the drawing until you write the sketch into your drawing. This means that you temporarily save the segment that youve drawn and the segment length, and you can continue sketching.
