#### Lock/Unlock the Sketch

1\. Hold the Grab trigger on your non-dominant hand and the feature will appear on the non-dominant hand joystick (history button)

2\. To lock the sketch simply move the thumbstick down. When the Lock is set you won't be able to resize the sketch. 

To unlock squeeze the Grab trigger on your non-dominant hand controller again and move the thumbstick in any direction.
