Operation Manual

If you selected a filled polygon, the last point is automatically joined to the first point to close off the
polygon and fills it with the current standard fill color. A polygon without filling will not be closed
when you end the drawing.
Polygons 45°
These polygons are drawn the same way as ordinary polygons above, but the angles between
lines are restricted to 45 or 90 degrees when you create another point in your polygon.
Note
Holding down the Shift key when drawing lines with the Curve or Polygon tools will
also restrict the angles between the lines to 45 or 90 degrees.
Freeform lines
Using the Freeform Line tools is similar to drawing with a pencil on paper.
1) Click and drag the cursor to the line shape you require.
2) Release the mouse button when you are satisfied with your freeform line and the drawing is
completed.
If you selected a filled freeform line, the last point is automatically joined to the first point to close
off the freeform line and fills it with the current standard fill color. A freeform line without filling will
not be closed when you end the drawing.
Glue points and connectors
Glue points
All Draw objects have glue points, which normally are not displayed. Glue points become visible
when the Connectors icon on the Drawing toolbar is selected.
Most objects have four glue points (Figure 30). You can add more glue points and customize glue
points using the Gluepoints toolbar (Figure 31). Go to View > Toolbars > Gluepoints on the main
menu bar to open the toolbar.
