Sketching: Use different colors for different lines

Sketching: Use different colors for different lines

I have seen some similar questions but I'd like to propose this idea with a suggestion as well.

Sketching is not easy because dimensions lines and sketching lines have all the same color and size (black), at least until the profile is open.

You know, sketching is actually the first approach to the software and in my opinion should be more immediate.

COLORS can save a lot of troubles for your eyes: just a fast view and you understand immediately, there is no need to zoom, go deeper, check every line start and end to see which line it is.

 

Thanks for support.

Not diffirent color! Otherwise, it will not show the full sketch constraint. Need different thickness!

Yes, different thickness is also OK. I thought about that also.

The only problem with bigger thickness is that you might lose precision when more lines stick together.

In the end, the full constrained condition should have a different color than dimensions lines: I think it should be pretty simple but very efficient for your productivity, your eyes and process flows..
