Many geometry creation tools from the {{Button|[[Image:Workbench_Draft.svg|16px]] [[Draft_Workbench|Draft]]}} and {{Button|[[Image:Workbench_Arch.svg|16px]] [[Arch_Workbench|Arch]]}} workbenches 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.

Description

The Draft ToggleContinueMode command switches continue mode on or off. Many Draft and Arch commands support this mode. If continue mode is on they will restart after finishing. Continue mode can also be toggled in the task panel of those commands so in practice this command is rarely used.

Usage

  1. Select the Utilities → Toggle continue mode option from the menu.
  2. Invoke a command that supports continue mode, Draft Line or Arch Wall for example.
  3. To toggle continue mode in the task panel of the command: press T or click the Continue checkbox.
  4. Create your geometry.
  5. Press Esc or the Close button to finish the command and switch off continue mode.
