Draw and edit geometric shapes

Geometric and other special shapes that would be otherwise hard to draw can be easily created using one of the corresponding shape tools. Once drawn, both the shape and its stroke can be made into curves for more freeform design.

Shapes example
Designer Persona Rectangle Tool To draw a new shape:
  1. With the Designer Persona enabled, choose one of the shape tools, e.g., Rectangle Tool.
  2. Drag on the page to create the shape. If needed, constrain the shape's proportions to a square by pressing a secondary finger (or thumb) on the screen as you drag. The same applies for ellipse and circle shapes.

  3. Modify options as required, either by changing the values on the context toolbar or by dragging the red handle(s) (if available).
    Drag handle
To reset a shape handle to its initial position:
To edit an existing shape:
  1. Select the shape, either by tapping the shape or by double-tapping the layer entry in the Layers panel.
  2. Edit the shape as required by either by directly dragging the red handle(s), or by changing the values on the context toolbar.
Convert to Curves To convert a shape to curves:
Convert to Curves

The shape is now made from curves. Segments and nodes can be modified with the Node Tool.
