Source Editor

Editing Source Files

Use the Source Editor to view and edit your SVG source code. The Source Editor is tightly integrated with the other major components of Sketsa. While you can create and edit your SVG artwork using the visual design tool provided by Sketsa, Source Editor can be useful to add or edit your SVG artwork which is not implemented by the visual design tool.
