Help: Drawing Objects

Click on Tools to open the Tools Palette. Five object drawing tools are available:

Rectangle
Inserts a rectangle into the current layer of the design, which can be repositioned and/or resized.

Ellipse

Inserts an ellipse into the current layer of the design, which can be repositioned and/or resized.

Note: By default, rectangles and ellipses are automatically inserted into the design when these tools are clicked on. You can turn off the automatic insertion and use the shape tools to manually draw objects by unchecking "Insert text and shapes automatically when tools are clicked" in DiscLabel > Preferences under the Edit tab.

Line

In the design, click and hold the mouse down to draw a line.

Scribble

In the design, click and hold the mouse down to draw a freeform scribble. By default, scribbles are smoothed when you finish drawing them. If you'd rather your scribble remain rough, hold the Command key while scribbling.

Polygon

In the design, click once to anchor the first polygon point. Additional clicks will add more points to the shape. Click the first polygon point to close the shape.
