Polyline modifying options: Move, rotate, move vertex, add vertex, delete vertex and split a polyline in to lines and arcs.
Freehand polylines for to do fast annotations.

1.5.5. Points

Point drawing options: By location.
Point modifying options: Move.

1.5.6. Rectangles

You can draw rectangles and parallelograms.

1.5.7. Texts

With the text tools you can create, edit and modify drawing texts. You can select the size, color and type of the text. Existing texts in the drawing can be modified: edit content, move text, move horizontally or vertically, rotate text, resize text or copy.

1.5.8. Symbols

Using the symbol tools you can create new symbols that can then be inserted in the drawing.
You can insert a symbol in a Point, insert symbols inside a closed surface or insert symbols at layer Points.
You can also modify existing symbols using the tools: move symbol, rotate symbol, resize symbol or explode.

1.5.9. Dimensions

Options to create dimensions: point dimension, between two points, aligned to an item, distance and angle, angular and radial.
Before creating a dimension you can set up the dimension parameters: text and arrow size.

1.5.10. Delete an item

Any selected item on the screen can be deleted.

1.5.11. Information

Element features and geometrical information can be obtained from the drawing elements: Coordinates, Distance and azimuth by 2 points, Distance from point to item, entity features (name, layer, surface...), item features, polyline segment, interior angle between 2 items...

1.5.12. Object selection

Options to set up the current object: current layer, current entity and current point.
Options to assign a layer to objects: entity to current layer, point to current layer, points within a zone to current layer.

1.5.13. Zoom

The usual way to zoom in and out and move the view center is by moving 2 fingers on the touch screen. Although sometimes, for example when you are using a precise pointer instead of a finger, you may prefer to use zoom tools to increase, decrease, change the view center or display the whole view extension for the plan defined.
You can also zoom to an entity or point previously selected from the list of entities and points.
These options are available in the Zoom menu.

1.5.14. Snap To

To specify precise locations on objects you can turn on a Snap To option.
When a Snap To option like Point, Endpoint, Items intersection, point projected over an item, point perpendicular to an item or Curve center is on, and you specify a point on the screen, the eligible points within the searching radius are displayed and listed. You can then select the desired data point to be used in a CAD tool.

1.5.15. Coordinates selection

While you utilizes a CAD tool and you are prompted for a point location, you can select the nearest point coordinates to the one specified on the screen that fulfills the Coordinates Selection option previously selected.
The Coordinates Selection options are absolute coordinates XYZ/NEZ, coordinates adjustment, Point, Item endpoints, Items intersection, Curve Center or Midpoint.
The Coordinates Selection tool prevails over any enabled Snap To option.

1.5.16. Item Selection

When using a CAD tool, you are prompted for an item selection and once you have specified a point on the screen to select the object, if there is more than one item is eligible within the searching radius, then the Item Selection screen appears. This screen allows you to precisely select the item to be used.
