Draw a polyline
Create a connected path from straight segments or place a preset outline.
Choose Polyline in Add Objects. A polyline keeps successive segments in one path. Its guide includes point coordinates, Total Length, Point Count and Closed Path.
Place a custom path
Choose the custom/free-drawing option. Click the first point and continue clicking to add corners. Double-click the final point or press Enter to finish. Backspace removes the last in-progress point; Esc cancels the current drawing.
Close the path when needed
Enable Closed Path when the path should connect its last point to its first. Check the preview before finishing. An open polyline and a closed outline are different results.
Use a shape preset
The preset choices include rectangle, rounded, oval, kidney, L-, T- and U-shaped outlines. Select a preset and enter the dimensions it exposes, such as Width, Depth, Corner Radius or wing dimensions. The preset follows the pointer for placement on the canvas.
Edit the current point list
Use the point-list fields to inspect or change the active path’s coordinates. Total Length and Point Count are readouts. Complete a custom path with Enter, double-click or its enabled guide action; preset placement uses the canvas preview rather than a separate Apply step.
