Free sketching in drawing file

Hi, I'm in the process of transfering 2D autocad drawing to 3D files. I've got a lot of details to sketch manually in drawing files: details that cannot be modelised for convenience reasons, personalised tables, explanation sketches, etc. These details must be added to the 3D views I insert automatically. I would say that 10% of my drawings must be sketched directly in the drawing file and cannot be modelised. I am trying to use the Empty View command but it's not easy because you have all the relations following. I also tried the block command wich is also non-practical. I don't need to re-insert these sketches. What's the most efficient way to produce sketch directly in the drawings. Should I consider always inserting autocad sketches? Is there a way to sketch without getting geometrics relations (more like Autocad)? Thanks for any advices.

To sketch without automatic relations, you could simply turn it off in Tools>Sketch Settings>Automatic Relations. However I don't recommend this. Sometimes you want automatic relations (horizontal line, coincident, etc.) It would be a hassle to manually add each of these to every sketch entity.

Instead, to temporarily disable automatic relations, hold the Ctrl key down as you are sketching.
