It is not desirable since Sketcher is not a drafting workbench. :ugeek:

Do you mean "drawing"? Then I agree. Sketcher is so to speak only function, while in TechDraw it is additionally about conventions and aesthetics.

Drafting (or draughting, as I learnt at school) as the task a draughtsman performs on his draughting machine in a draughting office to earn wages. 8-)
