Editing Sketch Styles

Sketch style can be edited and renamed.

Sketch styles do not display in the Resource Manager until a sketch-related option is selected the first time.

To edit a sketch style:

1. Select View > Rendering > Sketch Options.

The Sketch Options dialog box opens.

2. Select the sketch style to edit from the sketch style list.

3. Click Edit.

4. The Sketch Style Editor dialog box opens. You can edit the sketch edge and end point settings, and rename the style. The preview graphic provides help with editing.

Click to show/hide the parameters.

Parameter	Description
Name	Changes the default sketch style name, if desired
Edge Settings
Wobble	Controls how much the sketched lines are offset from the true lines of an object; drag the slider to the right to increase the wobble
Stroke	Controls the length of the sketch drawing strokes; a longer stroke distance increases the number of wobble points. Drag the slider to the right to increase the number of wobble points.
Randomness	Controls the amount of wobble and stroke variation
End Point Settings
Overstrike	Extends sketched lines past their endpoints; drag the slider to the right to increase the overstrike distance
Understrike	Shortens sketched lines before their endpoints; drag the slider to the right to increase the understrike distance
Randomness	Controls the amount of overstrike and understrike variation

5. Click OK.

Alternatively, from the Resource Manager, right-click (Windows) or Ctrl-click (Mac) on the resource, and select Edit from the context menu. Sketch styles can also be deleted and/or replaced from the Resource Manager (see Deleting or Replacing Resources).
