Tool Menu

Intro​

Tools can be used to interact or create Layers in the Viewport.

Tool Settings​

Each tool has its own settings which can be found in the Tool Settings Window. When drawing Shapes it's possible to draw a Primitive or an Editable Shape. A Primitive is a Shape that has attributes like Radius or Size whereas an Editable Shape is a Shape that consists of points or vertices that can be moved.

Enable Create Editable Primitives to create Editable Shapes. Editable Shapes can be edited with the Edit Shape tool.

Shortcuts​

The following hotkeys can be used to perform various tasks when drawing Shapes:

  • Hold Shift to constrain proportions.
  • Hold Option/Alt to draw the Shape outwards from the start position of the cursor.
  • A single click in the Viewport with a tool selected will create a default Shape centred on the cursor.

You can alternatively Option/Alt + click an icon in the toolbar to create a default Shape.
