    Problem

    What is Sticky Z lock?

    Solution

    The Sticky Z lock option can be toggled on and off under the AccuDraw Settings dialog box in the Operation tab.

    Sticky Z lock, when toggled on, allows for consecutive operations of placing elements on the same Z elevation when the Z axis is locked on the AccuDraw dialog box.

    When Sticky Z Lock option is toggled off, consecutive operations will place elements on the elevation of which the element is snapped to instead of locking the Z elevation.

    The Sticky Z lock option is toggled off by default, but can be toggled on and doing a Save Settings will keep this option toggled on.
