Where have all the sketches gone?

'Morning gang,
I'm sure this probably my fault as usual, but I cannot figure out how to sketch in an IDW. I've done it before, but can't do it today. I think the drawing I'm working on now was made in IV6SP2, and it has a sketch, which I can modify, but now I cannot find the magic wand to invoke a new sketch. Where did they put it?

TIA

Tom

I've found it's best to select the view in the
browser then hit sketch.  I've had bad luck with trying to click sketch
then select the view in the drawing window.

I think you pick the "view" first in the browser,
then go to sketch.

Thanks, but when I click, RMB, LMB, bite my tongue, cross my eyes, scream, whatever, I cannot find "sketch" or anything like it. Not in the RMB box, browser, tool bar, anywhere. Where the heck is it hiding?

What if you select the view in the browser and then press "S"

Thank you Kent! "S" is the magic ingredient. Don't know why I didn't know that, but there's so much I don't know that nothing surprises me now.

Cory, thanks for the response, but my toolbars are not customized. I'm too chicken to do that. No telling what might happen.

Anyway, it's working now thanks all!

Sean, you are an excellent speller and
an extremely accurate typist; I don't see how anyone could think it
was otherwise! Do you? <G>
