Freehand

Once you have selected the freehand option, you will be able to draw freehand until you either

• dismiss the cursor from drawing back to normal canvas cursor operation
• select another draw option

The freehand sketch will be drawn with the Line Type, Line Width, Arrow Style and Color Table selections that are active in the Attributes Toolbar. These can be changed before or after drawing the freehand.

For more information on the appearance, see the chapter Formatting Tools.
