Pen

1 min readPDF page 25

Pen creates freehand strokes for drawing, writing and annotating. With a compatible pen, pressure and tilt affect the stroke. With a mouse or trackpad, pressure is simulated from the movement. Strokes are editable board content, not a permanent change to the PDF underneath.

#How to use it

  1. Choose Pen and adjust style, thickness and color.
  2. Draw or write on the board. Use short strokes for details and a comfortable zoom.
  3. To recognize a geometric shape, hold the pen still at the end of the stroke. Check the recognized line, arrow or shape.

  1. Use Undo to recover the original stroke or Eraser to remove part of it.

#Common mistake and how to fix it

A digital pen can draw while a pointer tool is active. A stroke does not mean the mouse tool has changed. To type with the keyboard, use Text. For structured relationships, use Connector instead of a hand-drawn line.
