The Sketch Tool
The Sketch screen lets you draw simple diagrams and measured layouts — room measure-ups, marking damage, showing where pipes or wires run — and link them to a job.
Opening it
Go to Sketch in the sidebar. Your saved sketches are listed there; click New (or the create button) to start one. Name it at the top and pick a Linked job from the dropdown to associate it with a job.
