Hi, Our experience is that this stream mode digitizing may be handy when digitizing new material, but it may also lead to some problems later (with some MicroStation based digitizing utility it was possible to keep mouse button pressed and then just draw a line). It gives too many vertices, and if there are some existing features on that layer then it is hard to keep topology clean. Too many vertices might be avoided by adding an automatic generalisation function the drops out points which are within minimum distance and which are changing the angle of line less than some threshold.
