The Drawing Elements Tools Palette

---

The Drawing Elements tools provides shapes you can add to your drawing.

Drawing elements are not a part of the structure they are drawn near. If you double-click on a bond, atom, or atom label with a drawing tool, they are not selected. To group drawing elements with a structure, use the Group command in the Object menu. For more information, see "Grouping Objects".

Some drawing element types are available with fill patterns: hollow (no fill pattern), gray, and black. You can change the type of box, circle, or oval using the Curves menu.

The Info window indicates the length and angle relative to the X-axis while you use any of the drawing element types.
