Pencil Tool Properties
When you select the Pencil 
tool, its properties and options appears in the Tool Properties view.
| Icon | Tool Name | Description |
| Maximum Size |
Defines the maximum size of your drawing tool. This parameter defines the width of the stroke. |
|
| Smoothing |
Defines the number of control points added to the centre line. The fewer the control points the smoother (but less faithful) the line. |
|
| Presets |
Harmony provides a variety of pencil presets and also lets you create and save your own. It is a good idea to create and save pencils with precise sizes and parameters when you draw and design for efficiency and consistency. You can export the pencil presets that you have created and import those that others have created. This is a good way for you and project collaborators to keep a consistent look for the project. |

When drawing on vector layers, the Draw Behind mode lets you paint behind existing art. By default, strokes appear over your work until you release the tool.

When enabled, the Auto-Flatten mode automatically flattens the new lines created with the existing artwork as you draw in the Drawing

Using the Select tool, you can use select and remove a segment of flattened pencil lines. Overlapping pencil lines drawn with the Auto-Flatten mode are essentially cut into segments by the overlap and can be treated as individual lines. |
