[Anonymous]

Anyone know how to use the figure tool?

Hi, the figure tool is used similar to the drawing tool, with some difference, check this link, it will help you to understand the difference and when to use it.

Old topic but I'm rewriting some of our internal tutorials and trying to find an IRL case where Figure is the correct choice of weapon. I come up with pretty much nothing. If I have a lot of photos that I know will not be changed I might opt for Figure but otherwise...!? Anyone using Figure more regularly and is so for what?

If your using a photo to "Align View" a camera...
It's gotta be brought in as a "Figure.

The figure tool can be resized on X or Y axis.
The drawing tool is locked so both are proportional.
Drawings can be set to auto or manual update and can also be set to show as grey scale (and when placed on layouts can be set to use any pen set).

Yes I know these. I've done a simple table with the differencies. I can't figure of any IRL need for the figure tool (haha).

Also, the Figure Tool has the Transparency option.

It's a must use for me, to do a photo/model montage.
