| | 11 | 1. ''Enter the drawing mode, click pen toolbar icon (or {{{Shift+F}}}))'' |
| | 12 | 2. ''Draw a line by mouse'' |
| | 13 | 3. ''{{{Enter}}}. Line is simplified to reduce number of nodes. |
| | 14 | 4. ''(optionally) fine tune simplification using {{{Up}}} or {{{Down}}} buttons.'' |
| | 15 | 4. ''{{{Enter}}} again. Line (Way) is created and selected.'' |

| | 17 | === Drawing === |
| | 18 | |
| | 19 | * Use left mouse button clicks or drags to create draft contour. |
| | 20 | * {{{Ctrl+Click}}} adds '''fixed point''' that will not be affected by simplification; you may use it for corners or other significant parts of shape but this is not required. |
| | 21 | * When dragging over existing nodes, they are included in new line automatically. |
| | 22 | * Clicking on the first point makes the line closed (no more adding points). |
| | 23 | |
| | 24 | === Editing in drawing mode === |
| | 25 | |
| | 26 | * {{{Backspace}}} - delete last added node, then previous etc. |
| | 27 | * {{{Ctrl+Shift+Click}}} - clears the sketch and start new one. |
| | 28 | * {{{Ctrl+Click}}} on fixed node makes it free, {{{Ctrl+Click}}} on free node makes it fixed (see marks). |
| | 29 | * {{{Shift+Click}}} - delete selected node (marked by red X) or selected '''fragment'''. Fragment is a line between two fixed nodes. |
| | 30 | * After deletion of the fragment you can '''redraw''' it by mouse from the beginning to the end (active segment marked orange). |
| | 31 | * To stop editing fragment {{{Shift+Click}}} on free area or press {{{Escape}}}. |
