QuickStart Tool Palette  
 

The currently selected drawing tool determines what happens when you tap or drag the stylus in the canvas area of the screen.

Select a tool by tapping its icon in the tools palette. The currently selected tool is highlighted with a white rectangle as shown in Figure 4.

Tools include:

  Selection   Use this tool to select and modify objects in the drawing. (See the Moving and Resizing Objects and Context Menus sections of this tutorial.)
  Pan   When this tool is selected, dragging the stylus across the canvas area of the screen scrolls the drawing in the direction you're dragging. It's a lot like dragging a piece of paper.
  Pen   Selecting this tool turns the stylus into a pen. Dragging the stylus in this mode leaves "ink" on the canvas. Paths drawn in this manner are selectable as objects.
  Line   Draws a straight line from the point where the stylus first hits the canvas, to the point where it is lifted. The line includes any end styles defined in Line Defaults.
 

Orthogonal and
Straight Connectors

  These tools are used to create connector lines between objects. The section Connecting Objects with Lines contains more detail on their use.
