Creation/Editing Mode -  Main Menu - Shape

The Shape Menu is accessible only in creation/editing mode.

Basic shapes such as ellipses and rectangles are available from this menu.

This is another mode in which basic shapes can be used. The first is the Selection/Transform mode.

Unlike the Selection/Transform mode, which only allows you to create ready-to-use shapes, this mode allows you to edit shapes at the node level and combine multiple shapes. A shape can also be combined with the spline edge of the object being vectorized. It is also possible to change the starting point of the shape.

To use any of these shapes, place at least one node in the Work Area, then select a shape and draw it in the Work Area.

Use a secondary mouse button click or button of the pop-up menu to bring up the menu. Then select Shape To Elements from the pop-up menu. Studio will move the last node to the nearest point on the shape just created, and the shape will start from that point. This means the shape can start from any point. Note: the rest of previously created nodes are discarded.

If instead of Shape To Elements you click Shape To Elements with Connection, the previously created nodes are preserved and shape is connected to them. Thus, the shape becomes a part of the edge.

Basic shape - star. Nodes 1 and 2 define the size of the star. Node 3 allows you to move the shape. Node 4 defines the chosen start point of the shape.
