The Sketcher Toolbar

To exit an option, you can:

  1. Click another button

  2. Press exit, returning to Select mode.

  3. Deselect the button, returning to Select mode.

Note: For the Trim function, pressing exit will return you to the function you were using last, not necessary to Select mode. For instance, if you are creating an arc and then enter Trim, when you are finished trimming and press exit, you will return to the Arc function.
