Tutorial 31
Use the Ellipse tool
Another method of drawing in your FreeHand document is to select a shape tool
in the Tools panel, drag in your document with the tool to create the shape, and
allow FreeHand to automatically place the points. You’ll use this method now to
complete the eye.
1 In the Tools panel, click the Ellipse tool.
2 Click the upper left edge of the oval on the background art, as shown in the
following illustration, and drag to the opposite edge of the oval.
3 To size the ellipse precisely, go to the Object inspector and type 12.12 in the W
text box, which indicates the width of the object.
4 To specify the height of the ellipse, type 8.5 in the H text box and press Enter
(Windows) or Return (Macintosh).
Begin dragging here.
