#MAC DRAW RED ARROW IN PREVIEW PDF#

Draw a shape like this and you notice here I get three options. Sometimes you even get more than two options. There are probably a few others but the ones I played around with, these are the ones that it recognizes and it gives you the option of which one to choose. You can do an oval and you can even do an oval on an angle and we'll get that. Again I have the option here of what I want to do. You can do a pentagon and it corrects it.

All sorts of things and, of course, I can also change the thickness of the line. I have the option here, under the line properties, to actually remove the arrowhead or change its direction. You could do even arrows, an arrowhead on the end here, and you can see it actually converts that to an arrow. Actually that did it as a curve because me line was so bad.

For instance, I can do a square and you can see it makes it perfect but I can select the rough one. So you have the option of drawing a perfect shape or the rough shape. Go to either one, select it, and now that's there. You can use this perfect circle that has been substituted for your rough one or you can go over here to this little dropdown menu that has appeared and select between your original rough circle or the perfect one. Now you have a choice here at this point. But when I release you can see I get a perfect circle. The Pen tool is particularly interesting because you can draw freehand on the image. You click on the Markup tools here, get all these extra tools, and do various things.
