Some tools of the Draft and Arch modules feature a Continue checkbox, which, when checked, restarts the command after you finish it, so you don't need to press the command button again, and you can quickly create several objects in a row, one after the other. This command switches on/off this checkbox for the next commands.
Many geometry creation tools from the [[Draft Workbench]] and [[Arch Workbench]] allow you to activate the continue checkbox. If continue mode is on, the drawing tool will restart after you finish with it, allowing you to draw another object with the same tool, without pressing the tool button again. This allows you to place several objects in a row until you deactivate the continue checkbox.

Description

Many geometry creation tools from the Draft Workbench and Arch Workbench allow you to activate the continue checkbox. If continue mode is on, the drawing tool will restart after you finish with it, allowing you to draw another object with the same tool, without pressing the tool button again. This allows you to place several objects in a row until you deactivate the continue checkbox.

How to use

  1. Start a command such as Draft Line or Arch Wall.
  2. Press the Toggle continue mode checkbox.
  3. Press Esc or the Close button to abort the current command; objects already placed will remain.
