3. How to Create Sketch Elements
|
||

|
||
|
||
The elements a sketch consists of are text, boxed text, lines, boxes, polygons, curves, closed curves, circles, ellipses, arcs, arrowheads, and bit maps. This chapter explains how to create and change each kind of element, and how to change the way new elements will look.

To Use Text in a Sketch
|
||
1
|
||
|
||
In Sketch, text is provided by text elements. Each text element has some characters, a control point that positions it, and properties that determine the way it looks (e.g., boldness, font family) and how it is justified relative to its position (e.g., left, right, or center justification). A new text element is added by typing it in (see the section ©©To Type In Text,©© below). You edit existing text elements by selecting within them and typing (see the sections ©©To Insert Characters Into a Piece of Existing Text©© and ©©To Replace Characters in a Piece of ExistingText©©). The size, font family, boldness, and italic properties, and the location of the text relative to its position, are changed using the Change command (see the section ©©To Change the Way Text Looks¹¹).

In a sketch window, the three mouse buttons provide quick access to text editing and line drawing. Figure 8 summarizes these mouse button functions.
