Editing shapes in Freeform is a straightforward process focusing on adjusting their size and proportions directly on the board.
Once you've added a shape to your Freeform board, you can easily modify it. The primary method involves selecting the shape and manipulating the dots that appear.
Steps to Edit a Shape
To change the appearance of a shape you've added:
- Select the Shape: Tap on the shape you want to edit. This will highlight the shape and typically display various dots around its perimeter.
- Drag the Dots: Look for the dots that appear around the selected shape. According to the Freeform functionality:
- Shapes: Drag a blue dot to change the size or proportions of the shape.
By dragging these blue dots, you can dynamically resize the shape, making it larger or smaller, or alter its proportions, making it wider, taller, or narrower as needed.
Understanding Shape Editing Basics
Freeform simplifies shape editing by providing intuitive controls directly on the canvas. This allows for quick adjustments without needing complex menus.
Here's a summary of the core action:
| Action | Result |
|---|---|
| Select Shape | Shows editing dots |
| Drag Blue Dot | Changes size or proportions of shape |
This method applies generally to shapes you add from the Freeform library, allowing you to customize them to fit your board's layout and design requirements.
By using these simple drag gestures on the blue dots, you gain control over the visual appearance of the shapes you use to organize and visualize your ideas in Freeform.
