How Do You Expand a Selection in Autodesk SketchBook?

Published in Autodesk SketchBook Selection 1 min read

To expand a selection in Autodesk SketchBook, you can use the tap-drag method specific to the selection tool you are using. This method allows you to dynamically adjust the selected area.

Here's how the tap-drag method works, depending on the type of selection:

  • For Rectangle Selection:
    • Place your finger where you want the center of the rectangle selection to be, then tap-drag to expand the selection outwards from the center.
    • Alternatively, place your finger where you want the bottom-right corner of the selection to be, and tap-drag to expand from the top-left corner to that point.

Key Considerations:

  • Experimentation: The best approach can depend on the specific area you are trying to select. Experiment with the tap-drag starting points to find what works best.
  • Selection Tools: This method is generally applicable to tools that allow you to define selections based on shapes. Other selection tools might have slightly different expansion or adjustment methods.
  • Precision: For fine-tuning, zoom in and make smaller adjustments.
