Drawing outline segments

Outline segments may be drawn manually. This is especially useful if the active layer has an incomplete outline, where you need to close one or more gaps.

To draw an outline segment:

1. Click on the Draw outline segment button.
2. Move the mouse pointer to the position where the segment will start. If desired, press the X key to snap the mouse pointer to the nearest existing segment endpoint.
3. Click and hold down the mouse button to start the drawn segment.
4. Move the mouse pointer to the position where the segment will end. If desired, press the X key to snap the mouse pointer to the nearest existing segment endpoint.
5. Release the mouse button to create the segment.

To draw a rectangle:

1. Click on the Quick outline button.
2. Move the mouse pointer to one corner of the rectangle. If desired, press the X key to snap the mouse pointer to the nearest existing segment endpoint.
3. Click and hold down the mouse button to start the drawn rectangle.
4. Move the mouse pointer to the opposite corner. If desired, press the X key to snap the mouse pointer to the nearest existing segment endpoint.
5. Release the mouse button to create the rectangle.
