13 / ADD SHAPES

PUT THE IDEA
ON THE CANVAS.

Add one object precisely or bring in a group quickly, then arrange it into a readable explanation.

NOTE 01

Start from the canvas

Double-click an empty area to choose from common shapes and connectors.

NOTE 02

Use the library

Click a library shape for a quick addition, or drag it to the intended location for more precise placement.

NOTE 03

Build from what is there

Use an existing shape’s directional controls to add a connected object. Duplicate a shape when its style and role should be repeated.

READ WITH THE DRAWING

Choose names and labels that explain the role of each object; a decorative shape alone is not the explanation.
