Drawing Tool

Icon

Straight Draw - allows drawing in diagonal or straight lines, as well as clicking into individual cells in the warp, weft or tie-up. Keyboard shortcut "S"

Point Draw - click and drag to pointed lines such as those used in point twills. Keyboard Shortcut "P"

Free Draw - click and drag. Lines are formed according to mouse movement. Keyboard Shortcut "F"

Line Draw - click and drag. Lines are formed in horizontal or vertical segments, depending on the size of the "rectangle" drawn by the mouse. This is useful in design functions such as network drafting. Shorcut "L".

The drawing tools are used in the warp thread section, tie-up and weft section. The drawing tools are also used in the color bar. The color bar is over the warp threads and to the right of the weft threads.

If a dialog panel is open, such as Section Assembly, the drawing tools will not work. Close the dialog panel to restore access.

If the selection tool or section marker tool is selected, remember that none of the regular drawing tools are activated.
