Remarks

When True, the user can enter sketch selection mode by holding the SHIFT key. The sketch state is saved while selecting and the sketch is resumed when the SHIFT key is released. When False, SHIFT cannot be used to enter selection mode. Note that toggling between selection and sketch modes can also be achieved with the ActivateSelectAsync method. If using this method, the sketch state will only be saved if UseSelection is True.
