Invoke a command that supports continue mode, Draft Line or Arch Wall for example.

-Many geometry creation tools from the [[Draft Workbench|Draft]] and [[Arch Workbench]]es allow you to activate the continue checkbox. If continue mode is on, the drawing tool will restart after you finish with it, allowing you to draw another object with the same tool, without pressing the tool button again.

+The [[Image:Draft_ToggleContinueMode.svg|24px]] '''Draft ToggleContinueMode''' command switches continue mode on or off. Many [[Draft_Workbench|Draft]] and [[Arch_Workbench|Arch]] commands support this mode. If continue mode is on they will restart after finishing. Continue mode can also be toggled in the task panel of those commands so in practice this command is rarely used.
-This allows you to create several objects in a row until you deactivate the continue checkbox or exit the tool.
