TRACEEDIT (Command)

Changes the active trace to edit mode so you can contribute to the trace.

Displays the active trace with full saturation, while dimming the host drawing geometry.

A trace is created in the AutoCAD web app, AutoCAD mobile app, or AutoCAD desktop (Windows and Mac) to provide feedback, comments, markups, and design exploration of the drawing without altering the content of the drawing.

Note: Starting in AutoCAD 2023, the TRACEFRONT and TRACEEDIT commands provide the same functionality.
