Tools

Tools live on the Creation Toolbar on the left edge of the workspace. Activating a tool changes how clicks and drags on the canvas are interpreted; the active tool's options appear on the Properties Toolbar.

Selection

• Select: the default tool. Select, move, scale, rotate, shear.

Shapes

• Rectangle: axis-aligned rectangles by dragging from corner to corner.
• Ellipse: ellipses and circles from one corner of the bounding box to the opposite.
• Star: stars from center to radius. Configurable point count, bulge, and dual-radius variant.
• Polygon: regular polygons from center to radius. Side count comes from the active sub-tool.
• Text: create and edit text objects. Click to place, then type.

Paths

• Draw (Pen): Bezier paths by clicking to place anchor points and dragging to add handles.
• Node Edit: edit vector path nodes. Drag, add, delete, change handle type.
• Trim: cut a path at the clicked point. With healing, the gap closes automatically.
• Tabs: add or remove tabs (bridges) on cut paths so cut-through parts stay connected.
• Radius: add or remove fillets on individual corners. Click a sharp corner to round it.

Transform

• Two-Point Rotate & Scale: transform via two reference points: pivot and target.
• Warp: perspective warp via a 2×2 mesh, four corner handles.
• Deform: mesh deformation via a 4×4 grid of control points, sixteen handles.

Machine

• Laser Position: click on the canvas to send the laser head to that point on the machine.
• Measure: display distances and segment lengths on the canvas. Read-only.
