Available Editing Tools
These tools appear when an object is selected.
Remove Fill Color clears the current fill so the selected object is no longer filled. It appears only when the selection supports fill and already has a fill color applied. This is the quickest way to return an object to an unfilled state without changing its stroke.
Fill Color
Fill Color changes the interior color of the selected object. It appears only when the current selection supports fill styling. Use it to add solid visual emphasis to shapes and other fillable items.
Remove Fill Color
Stroke Color
Stroke Color changes the outline color of the selected object. It appears only when the current selection supports stroke styling. This is useful for refining contrast, categorization, or visual hierarchy without affecting the fill.
Line Thickness
Line Thickness adjusts the weight of the selected outline or path. It appears only when the current selection supports stroke thickness. Use it when you want lines to read as lighter, heavier, subtler, or more prominent.
Line Style
Line Style changes how a stroke is rendered, such as solid or dashed treatments. It appears only when the current selection supports line-style changes. This is especially helpful when different line types need to communicate different meanings in the same drawing.
Arrowheads
Arrowheads adds or edits arrow tips on supported line-based objects. It appears only when the selected geometry can carry arrowheads. Use it to turn a plain line into a directional annotation or callout.
Edit Text
Edit Text reopens the selected text for direct text editing. It appears only when the selected item supports text editing. This makes it easy to revise wording without recreating the object.
Layer
Layer opens the ordering controls for the current selection. It is used to move objects forward or backward relative to others so overlapping content reads correctly. This is one of the most useful controls when several objects occupy the same area.
Mirror Horizontally
Mirror Horizontally flips the selected object across a vertical axis. It appears only when the current selection supports mirroring. Use it to reverse orientation without redrawing the object.
Mirror Vertically
Mirror Vertically flips the selected object across a horizontal axis. It appears only when the current selection supports mirroring. This is helpful when you need the same geometry in the opposite vertical orientation.
Swap Photo
Swap Photo replaces the image attached to a photo-based marker while keeping the marker itself in place. It appears only in editing contexts where a marker supports attached-image replacement. This is useful when the location stays the same but the underlying image needs to be updated.
Opacity
Opacity adjusts how transparent the selected photo appears. It appears only when the current selection supports photo opacity changes. Lower opacity can make it easier to trace or compare a photo against surrounding drawing elements.
Corners
Corners changes the corner radius of the selected photo. It appears only when the current selection supports photo corner editing. Use it to keep photo presentation sharp and rectangular or soften it with rounded edges.
Measurements
Measurements opens measurement visibility or measurement-related controls for supported objects. It appears only when the current selection supports measurements. This is the control to use when you want dimensions or measurement presentation to be part of the object’s display.
Decrease Marker Size
Decrease Marker Size reduces the size of the selected marker. It appears only when the current selection supports marker resizing. This is helpful when a marker feels visually too large for the area it occupies.
Increase Marker Size
Increase Marker Size enlarges the selected marker. It appears only when the current selection supports marker resizing. Use it when a marker needs more visual weight or needs to remain legible at the current zoom level.
Join
oin combines compatible selected linework into a single connected result. It appears only when the current multi-selection supports joining. This is useful for cleaning up segmented geometry and simplifying later edits.
Group
Group turns multiple selected objects into a grouped set that can be moved and managed together. It appears only when grouping is relevant to the current selection. This is the best option when several items should behave as one unit.
Ungroup
Ungroup breaks a grouped selection back into individual objects. It appears only when the current selection already belongs to a group. Use it when grouped content needs to be edited or rearranged independently again.
Lock
Lock prevents the selected object or selection from being edited accidentally. It appears only when locking is available in the current selection state. This is especially useful for protecting reference content or completed geometry while continuing work nearby.
Unlock
Unlock restores editing access to a locked object or selection. It appears only when the current selection is locked or includes locked content. Use it when protected items need to be changed again.
Properties
Properties opens additional details and settings for the selected item. It appears only in contexts where object-specific properties are available. This is a good place to look when the change you need is more specific than the main styling controls.
Duplicate
Duplicate creates a copy of the current selection. It appears in most editable selection contexts, though not every object type exposes it. Use it to repeat existing work quickly without rebuilding the object from scratch.
Delete
Delete removes the selected object or selection from the drawing. It appears whenever deletion is allowed for the current selection. This is the fastest way to clear unwanted objects without leaving edit mode.
