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 directly from this menu.

This menu represents an advanced method for utilizing geometric primitives. While Selection/Transform mode is restricted to generating finished, ready-to-use objects, this mode enables precision editing at the node level.

In this environment, you can combine multiple shapes or integrate a shape directly into the spline edge of the object currently being vectorized. Additionally, users have the flexibility to redefine the starting point of any generated shape.

To implement these shapes, first place at least one node within the Work Area, then select the desired shape and draw it.

Right-click or use the pop-up menu button to access further options. Selecting Shape To Elements from this menu will align the last node to the nearest point on the newly created shape, effectively setting that point as the new start. Note that when using this specific command, any other previously created nodes are discarded.

Alternatively, selecting Shape To Elements with Connection preserves all previously created nodes and integrates the shape directly into the existing edge path.

Basic shape - star. Nodes 1 and 2 define the star's dimensions. Node 3 facilitates moving the entire shape. Node 4 designates the selected starting point for the shape path.
