Hi Greg,

First, English is not my mother tongue.
Moreover, in Kicad, "Outline" "contour" and "Sketch" are translated in French by the same word
("contour").

However I am thinking "Outline" instead of "Sketch" is not a good idea, because "Outline" is already
used in menus.
"Sketch" is more something like "not filled" or "not solid" graphic lines in Kicad dialogs.
