Tip: When you hold down the Shift key (Shiftª) while drawing, the direction of
the line is variable only in increments of 45 degrees.
Freeforms (scribbles)
The Freeform tool allows you to draw irregular curves as you would be able to
do by hand with a pencil.
To use this tool, move the mouse to the desired starting point, press the mouse
button and begin drawing – just as you would with a pencil. You can also create
straight lines by releasing the mouse button and clicking at the desired end point.
When you draw a curve that returns to its starting point, the drawing is automatically
ended and converted into a closed curve. If you want to obtain an open curve
you must end the drawing with a double click at the desired end point.
Curves
The
Curve tool allows you to draw Bezier curves.
To use this tool, click on the starting point and then on as many additional points as
you wish. The curve “follows” your clicks automatically.
When you draw a curve that returns to its starting point, the drawing is automatically
ended and converted into a closed curve. If you want to obtain an open curve
you must end the drawing with a double click at the desired end point.
