Sketcher Mouse Interaction in Detail

  • Dragging on empty space moves sketch around
  • Zooming is done by mouse wheel
  • Any object can be dragged. Sketcher tries to solve constraints on object drag.
    There is a 'Dumb Mode' when you can drag objects without solving constraints.
    Hold: Ctrl or Command while dragging to enable 'Dumb Mode'. Constraints will be solved on drag stop(mouse button release).
  • Circles, Ellipses and EllipticalArcs can be dragged in to modes: default and alternative. Hold: Alt while dragging to enable alternative mode.
    • default: changes only radius of an object
    • alternative: moves the entire object like if it was a segment
  • Then a point is added it can be snapped to another point if the mouse pointer is in other point's neighborhood. The coincident constraint is applied automatically in this case.
