Draw rectangles, circles and ellipses
Use pointer placement or the Tool Guide to create dimensioned closed shapes.
Choose the required shape in Add Objects. R activates Rectangle and C activates Circle. Rounded Rectangle and Ellipse are separate choices. Follow the live preview to confirm which dimensions the current tool is measuring.
Draw a rectangle
Click one corner and then the opposite corner, or drag between them. The guide exposes Origin, Width and Height. Draw from center changes the placement reference; Square constraint keeps both sides equal. The help lists Alt for center drawing and Shift for the square constraint.
Round the rectangle’s corners
Choose Rounded Rectangle and set Corner Radius along with Width and Height. This is part of the rounded-rectangle tool; choosing a plain rectangle does not add that parameter.
Draw a circle
Click or press at the center, move outward to set the radius and click or release to finish. The guide exposes Center, Radius and Diameter; changing radius or diameter changes the same size, not two independent dimensions.
Draw an ellipse
Choose Ellipse and define opposite corners of its bounding box. Use Origin, Width and Height for entered dimensions. Draw from center and the circle constraint provide alternative placement or equal-axis behavior.
Apply, cancel or edit
Valid positive dimensions enable the guide’s Apply action for entered values. A completed pointer gesture creates the shape directly. Esc cancels the current placement, while Undo removes a completed creation. Select the result to change its supported properties.
