Drawing tools

84 tools in six groups on the rail — how to find one, place it, and where to go next.

The rail down the left edge of every chart holds the tools.

Each group button shows the last tool you used from it — click it to draw that again. The small arrow beside it opens the whole group.

Press, drag, release for two-point tools, or click each point in turn — both work.
The space to the right of the last bar takes drawings, so you can project a level into time that hasn’t printed yet.
The tool disarms once the drawing is placed. Esc cancels a tool mid-draw.
