Pencil and Brush draw freehand vector paths. Rectangle supports sharp or rounded corners. Hold Shift for a square. Polygon and Star use Sides.
Ultimate Tool Options
This panel keeps only creation and tool-behaviour settings. Fill, stroke, gradient, opacity, transform, arrange, duplicate, delete, group and ungroup belong to the PM Designer right-side Properties panel after the object is selected.
Pencil Options
These settings affect new Pencil strokes only. Higher smoothness gives cleaner curves. Automatic professional node cleanup is always applied internally, so strokes keep fewer editable nodes with smoother curves.
Brush Options
Brush presets affect the next brush stroke only. The created vector object is handed back to PM Designer for styling.
Calligraphy Brush
Shape Brush
Pen Options
Click to place points. Drag while placing a point to create Bézier handles. Click the first node to close the path.
Line Options
Drag to create a line. Hold Shift to constrain angles. Tapered Line creates a filled editable path, then PM Designer Properties handles colour and other generic styling.
Rectangle Options
Hold Shift while drawing to create a square. Radius affects new rectangles.
Circle Options
Drag to create an ellipse. Hold Shift while drawing to create a perfect circle.
Polygon Options
Sides affects new polygons and stars.
Star Options
Use Sides in Polygon Options for the number of star points. Inner Radius controls the depth of the star.
Advanced Editing
Double-click a node to remove it. Node Color, Handle Color, and Node Size appear only while Edit Path is active.
