shape to a perfect square or circle. The sensitivity of the drawing assistance tools can
be adjusted or turned off.
Drawing with the Pen tools
•
• Drawing with the Marker tool
• Erasing
• Working with Onionskins
• Working with symbols
Drawing with the Pen tools
The Toolbox provides four tools for drawing. There are three Pen tools and a Marker
tool. The Pen tools use opaque ink while the Marker tool uses ink that is partially
transparent. Shape recognition, curve smoothing, and text recognition work only for
lines and shapes drawn with a Pen tool.
To draw with a Pen tool
1
In the Toolbox, tap one of the three Pen tools.
2 Use the tablet pen to draw in the work area.
Notes
•
You can change the line thickness and color for each of the pens by tapping
Settings , and making changes in the Pen Tool tab of the Settings dialog box.
Drawing 18
To change settings for the Pen tools
1
On the toolbar, tap Settings .
2
In the Settings dialog box, tap the Pen Tool tab.
3 For each of the three pens, choose a nib size and ink color.
4
For each of the three pens, enable or disable the Pressure sensitive check box.
When pressure sensitivity is enabled, you can increase or decrease the thickness of
ink while drawing by varying the amount of pressure on the tablet pen.
To change the Drawing Assistance settings
1
On the toolbar, tap Settings .
2
In the Settings dialog box, tap the Pen Tool tab.
3
In the Drawing Assistance section, set the following options:
Timer—specifies the time between a pen stroke and the implementation of
drawing assistance and the auto-growing for Onionskins. For example, if the
timer is set to 1 second and you draw a circle, shape recognition will take effect
one second after you lift your tablet pen. If the timer is set to zero, shape
recognition will occur the instant you lift your pen. Therefore, when the timer is
set to zero you can only draw recognized shapes consisting of one stroke.
Curve smoothing level—determines the amount of curve smoothing that is
applied. To turn curve smoothing off, move the slider all the way to the left.
Shape recognition level—determines the tolerances that are set for shape
recognition. If this control is set to its highest level, shapes will be recognized
even when they are not drawn very precisely. If the control is set to a lower
level, only shapes that are drawn more precisely will be recognized. To turn
shape recognition off, move the slider all the way to the left.
Automatically straighten shapes—If this check box is enabled, recognized
shapes that are close to the vertical or horizontal axis will be automatically
straightened. If the Shape recognition level is set to off, this check box is not
available.
Drawing 19
To draw a recognized shape
1

parallelogram, diamond, circle, ellipse, and triangle. Dashed lines are also
recognized.
For shapes to be recognized, shape recognition must be turned on in the Settings

dialog box. For more information, see "To change the Drawing Assistance settings"
on page 19 .
Tips
•
To make the outline of your shape thicker, go over the shape several times with the

over the shape.
To disable shape recognition for a single shape
1
In the Toolbox, tap one of the Pen tools .
2 Immediately lift the tablet pen slightly and click the tablet pen button.
Notes

You must click the tablet pen button before shape recognition takes effect. For
information on increasing the lag time between when you lift your tablet pen and
when a shape is recognized, see "To change the Drawing Assistance settings" on
page 19
Drawing with the Marker tool
The Marker tool uses ink that is partially transparent. It has a different nib shape than
the Pen tools. The size of the nib and the color of the ink can be changed in the

Onionskins on which you cannot draw are marked with an asterisk.
