Found a Workaround for "Sketch Picture" Feature

Steve Trambert

If any other users are looking for something to tide them over while they await the implementation of OnShape's sketch picture feature, I've found a workaround.

This workaround should absolutely have a video guide and added to tutorials 

ps. Didn't work with touchscreen..

Great alternative, very creative, really deserves a tutorial video.

Using tracing paper could be an improvement of your method as well.

Has anyone tried CThruView Transparent Image Viewer or Similar app's?
Could be a digital alternative.

Great solution! I have found a digital way of accomplishing the same thing.
Overlay2 (http://www.colinthomas.com/overlay/). The website isn't great, but it's free(ish) and does image overlay well.
