Draw Shape

Learn about Draw Shape, useful for drawing straight lines, curved lines, arcs, and circles.

Switch to Draw Shape

Tap the pencil icon in the top right tool menu to switch to Draw Shape. When the icon changes to a pencil with a ruler beneath it, you're in Draw Shape mode. You can do everything in Draw Shape that you can in Draw mode, such as drawing curves or creating 3D Guides.

Draw Straight Lines and Curved Lines

In Draw Shape mode, when you draw a curve, it will automatically be corrected to a straight line or a smooth curve based on how close your drawn curve is to those shapes. Similarly, if you draw a circle, it will be corrected to a perfect circle.

Hold to Adjust Straight Lines

Draw a straight line and keep the pen pressed against the screen. While holding, you can adjust the length and endpoint of the line. Lift the pen to finalize the straight line.

Hold to Adjust Curved Lines

Draw a curved line and keep the pen pressed against the screen. While holding, you can adjust the curvature. Lift the pen to finalize the adjusted curved line.

Create Circles

Press and hold the pen on the screen, then drag to create a circle. The size of the circle is determined by how much you drag. Lift the pen to finalize the circle.

Draw 3D Guides with Draw Shape

Use Draw Shape not only for curves but also to create 3D Guides. This also includes the ability to Bend 3D Guides.
