The Autoshape tool is a special drawing tool that lets you quickly sketch in shapes. You simply drag your finger to sketch out the approximate shape and the Autoshape tool will turn your sketch into the appropriate object. The possible results are:
- A Rectangle
- A Circle/Ellipse
- A Cloud
- A Curve
- A Polyline, closed or open
- 5 Pointed Star
To draw an Autoshape:
- Select the Autoshape tool
- Place your finger on the screen where you want the cloud to begin.
- Drag your finger to the around the objects you wish to surround.
- Lift your finger off the screen. This completes the cloud.
- To make a closed cloud lift your finger at the same point where you began the cloud.
Editing Autoshapes
