Sketchpad 2.1.0 continues the transition from SureStep Sketch and enhances precision drawing and keyboard-driven workflows, enabling faster, more accurate, and more controlled sketch creation.

Key Enhancements

Improved Drawing Precision

  • Esc stops drawing without exiting the current drawing mode.
  • Consistent behavior across mouse, keyboard, and numpad inputs improves usability and efficiency.

Smoother Drawing Experience

  • After completing a figure, Sketchpad automatically returns to starting-point placement so you can begin the next shape.
  • This creates a more continuous drawing workflow with fewer interruptions.

Advanced Cursor Navigation

  • Use Ctrl + Arrow keys to quickly jump the cursor to the next corner or wall alignment point.
  • This improves speed and accuracy for keyboard-first users working with complex layouts.

Expanded Structure Labeling

  • Added Below Grade 1, Below Grade 2, and Below Grade 3 labeling options.
  • The existing Basement label remains unchanged.
