Stroke Commands

While editing design data in eCADSTAR applications, you can use strokes on the canvas to execute an associated command. Specify the color of stroke traces in the Product Settings dialog, Advanced - Stroke section.

Using the Mouse to Execute a Stroke Command

Move the mouse cursor while pressing the right mouse button. The trace of the mouse cursor produced until you release the right mouse button is recognized as a stroke shape.
