QUESTION / CONTEXThow to stop solid works from drawing line points every time i hit enter in a sketch i swear it didn't used to do that
IMPORTANT GUIDANCE
- Click = place a point
- Move + click = next segment
- Enter = “accept segment and start a new one”
- --
- ✅ Use `Esc` instead of Enter → this exits the line tool cleanly
- ✅ Or double-click to end the chain
- ❌ Avoid hitting Enter while sketching lines
- Look for “Single command per pick”
