Operation Manual

• Corner Radius – you can only round the corners of a rectangular object. If this section is
grayed out, then you cannot set a corner radius.
– Radius – enter the radius of the circle that you want to use to round the corners. The
larger the value for corner radius set, the rounder the corners of an object become.
• Slant – slants the selected object along the bottom edge of the object.
– Angle – enter the angle of the slant axis. The slant angle relates to how much an
object inclines or slants from its normal vertical position on a drawing.
Using grid and snap functions
In Draw, you can also position objects accurately and consistently using grid points, snap points
and lines, object frames, individual points on objects, or page edges. This function is known as
Snap.
It is easier to use snap functions at the highest practical zoom value for your drawing. You can use
two different snap functions at the same time; for example, snapping to a guide line and the page
edge. However, it is recommended to activate only those snap functions that you really need.
Configuring grid and snap functions
To configure the grid and snap functions in your drawing, go to Tools > Options > LibreOffice
Draw > Grid to display the Grid dialog (Figure 52). The grid and snap functions can also be
displayed and switched on or off using this dialog, right-clicking on your drawing and using the
options in the context menu, or using the icons in the Options toolbar (Figure 53). If the Options
toolbar is not open, go to View > Toolbars > Options.
