Hide Blue sketch rectangle feature
Hello,
I just wander why is there that blue rectangle with sketch name? it always somehow interference with actual sketch, is it somehow important? Maybe If I am not looking from "normal to plane" view to understand perspective. But most time it is very distracting. I tried to find any way to hide it, but I can't find any. So I would like sugest this as a feature. There could be another check box with "show sketch plane" or something like that:)
Thanks a lot ♥️

Re: How can I display a grid when I am drawing an sketch?
I'll take the red tent. haven't used a grid since Autocad 9 probably and that was only for training.

Re: Is there seriously no way to show the toolbar in the mobile version?
I will add, that on a tablet, the menu bar has plenty of open space for frequently used tools
Mobile tablet: sketch-menu improvements
- The sketch menu is large because it contains all the drawing and constraint tools. If you separated these into a drawing tools and constraints menu respectively, it would be much easier and quicker to find the item you are looking for because each menu would be smaller and wouldn’t need to be scrolled.
- The most recently used sketch tool is displayed in the menu bar. It would be very convenient if the menu bar would hold the last 3 used tools.
- Move the dimension tool from the giant sketch menu to the toolbar.
My experience is with an 11” iPad. I am a hobbyist and stubborn but slow learner. I think the above small changes would make it easier and faster to use.
Thanks
