Draw, select and edit
Use the left toolbar for lines, rectangles, ellipses, text, curves and arcs. Open Shapes for more outlines, including stars and hearts. Use the small arrow beside a toolbar group to show its choices.
Select and arrange
Click an object or drag a selection box. Use Ctrl-click to toggle individual objects in a selection. Use the alignment, grouping, grid array and circular array tools for repeated parts. Select an image or shape and press Del to remove it. Ctrl+Z undoes the edit.
Work with text and paths
Double-click text or use Edit text from its right-click menu. Adjust font and layout from the Text controls. Keep a copy of editable text before using Convert to Path for vector output.
