Draw and edit 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 PersonaRectangle 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.
