Drawing Bézier curves
Choose the preferred mode for drawing curves.
- In OCAD mode, only the direction of a dragged tangent is used. The distance from the normal vertices to the curve vertices is calculated automatically. This is the recommended mode.
- In Illustrator mode, the length of the dragged tangent is used to calculate the distance of the curve vertex.
Convert freehand to curve when drawing
Check this box to convert lines and areas to curves when drawing in freehand mode. Otherwise they remain as polygons. The tolerance settings Smooth when drawing freehand determine the smoothing level.
Close area objects when drawing
OCAD closes areas object automatically when drawing. If start and end point are different then OCAD add an end point with the same position as the start point.
Choose Close Area Objects in Object -> Topology to close already drawn area objects.
Following existing objects
Uncheck this option if side lines of double lines should not be traced by following existing lines.
