# directTouchAutomaticallyDraws

A Boolean value that indicates whether direct touches automatically draw based on system state.

## Declaration

```swift
@MainActor @preconcurrency var directTouchAutomaticallyDraws: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Direct touches on the canvas behave as if directTouchMode = .drawing when directTouchAutomaticallyDraws is true, a PKToolPicker is visible, and the “Draw with Finger” system setting is on. Default is true.
