Adding a Sketchpad Input to a Form

How to add a Sketchpad input to a form

You can add drawings to a form using the sketchpad input. This is helpful when adding a photo to a form won’t work, such as a floorplan, or plot of land that you can’t get a whole photo of. You can draw basic shapes as well as straight lines or arrows, add text, and draw freehand. You can also use a photo as a background and sketch on the photo. If you have long words in a sketchpad field that is too close to the edge of a sketch they get cut off. If there are spaces, where it can wrap, the text will wrap.
