Under “Material” try to set transparency 60% 70% and lock your “PictureFrame” (This is the usual way)
Under Display Modes change size of control points
I think the first step is to hold down “Ctrl” button (at 0:20) at the same time click on start point and second point/vector, release “Ctrl” and begin with trace outside start point
But _ArcBlend (suggested by @RichardZ) looks very handy
