Bitmap > Draw

Use this menu option to draw a one-pixel-thick line using the primary and secondary colours. You can use the Draw tool to modify an image on an existing bitmap layer or create an image on a new bitmap layer.
      The Draw  button on the Design Tools toolbar is a shortcut for this menu option. The accessibility of this button is layout dependent.

To use the Draw tool:

  1. In the Project Tree, select the bitmap layer on which you want to draw.
  2. Select Bitmap > Draw or click   to select the Draw tool.
    If you are working in the 3D view, ensure that Display Bitmap  in the 3D View toolbar is selected.

  3. Move the cursor   over the area of the bitmap in which you want to draw, and then drag the cursor to draw in the primary colour.

    Press the Shift key when you drag the cursor to draw in the secondary colour.
