Reviewing and Editing Strokes

You can view defined strokes in the Review Strokes dialog. Depending on how you display this dialog, you can also change or delete defined strokes:

Click the Review button in the Define Strokes dialog to view strokes, but not change or delete them.
Draw the Review Strokes stroke (by default, a horizontal line from left to right) to view, change, and delete strokes. You can redefine the Review Strokes stroke in the Review Strokes dialog.

Reference

Defined Strokes

Displays a list of commands that currently have strokes assigned to them and the name of the current stroke set. These are the commands available as Main U.I. keyboard shortcuts in the Preferences dialog, plus the following commands, available only through Strokes:

Make Camera Active: Point at a single camera (not the target), draw the stroke, and that camera becomes active in the viewport in which the stroke is drawn.

Change Light Color: You can stroke this command over one or more lights. The color selector appears, letting you change the color of the selected lights.

Light On/Off Toggle: Stroke over a light to toggle its on/off state. If you stroke over two or more lights, all the lights are set to a common state, either all on or all off.

Set Constraints: Displays a small dialog with the available axis constraints. Double-click to change the axis constraints for the current transform mode.

Move Mode (Set Constraints): Switches to Move transform and displays a small dialog with the available axis constraints. Double-click to change the axis constraints for the current transform mode.

Rotate Mode (Set Constraints): Switches to Select and Rotate mode and displays a small dialog with the available axis constraints. Double-click to change the axis constraints for the current transform mode.
