Creating objects with the drawing tools


    In addition to creating text objects, you can also use the drawing tools in the Adobe Title Designer to create a variety of shapes such as rectangles, polygons, and ellipses.

To create a shape using the drawing tools:

  1. Select a drawing tool.
  2. Do any of the following:
    • Hold down Shift and drag to constrain the shape's aspect ratio.
    • Hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) and drag to draw from the center of the shape.
    • Hold down Shift + Alt (Windows or Option (Mac OS) as you drag to constrain the aspect ratio and draw from the center.
    • Drag diagonally across the corner points to flip the shape diagonally as you draw.
    • Drag across, up, or down to flip the shape horizontally or vertically as you draw.

    Note: To flip the shape after you've drawn it, use the selection tool to drag a corner point in the direction you want it to flip.

To change the shape of a geometric object or a logo:

    Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the shape and choose a shape option from the Geometry Type menu.

    Note: When changing shapes, the original control points may be lost. To reveal the control points before or after changing the shape, double-click the object with the selection tool.
