Drawing on the Screen
You can draw on the screen in the same way that you write on the screen. The difference 
between writing and drawing on the screen is how you select items and how they can be 
edited. For example, selected drawings can be resized, while writing cannot.
To create a drawing:
•
Cross three ruled lines on your first stroke. A drawing box appears. Subsequent 
strokes in or touching the drawing box become part of the drawing. Drawings that do 
not cross three ruled lines will be treated as writing.
NOTE: You may want to change the zoom level so that you can more easily work on or view your
drawing. Tap Tools then a zoom level.
To select a drawing:
If you want to edit or format a drawing, you must select it first. Tap and hold the stylus on 
the drawing until the selection handle appears. To select multiple drawings, deselect the 
Pen button then drag to select the drawings you want.
You can cut, copy, and paste selected drawings by tapping and holding the selected draw-
ing then tapping an editing command on the pop-up menu, or by tapping the command on 
the Edit menu. To resize a drawing, make sure the Pen button is not selected and drag a 
selection handle.
The drawing box indicates the 
boundaries of the drawing.
