createDrawCtx([axis=string], [exists=boolean], [image1=string], [image2=string], [image3=string])
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
createDrawCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.
The command creates a create/draw joint context. The context allows
the user to quickly create mirrored joint chains.
