Tools Toolbar

Allows you to cut a part of your artwork, then reposition, scale, rotate and skew it.

Allows you to edit the vector contours of brush strokes, pencil lines and shapes in your artwork. You can add, remove, tweak and move vector points, move the Bezier handles of the vector points as well as deform vector outlines.

Allows you to adjust the thickness of a pencil line at its different points and corners, tweak the shape of its extremities and scale its texture.

Allows you to deform and warp artwork by moving points and tweaking lines in a grid.

Allows you to adjust the position, angle and size of gradients and textures in a colour zone.

A pressure-sensitive tool for creating a contour shape with a thick and thin line effect, as if created with a paint brush.

A pressure-sensitive tool for drawing outlines. Pencil lines are made of central vector lines, making them easier to tweak and edit than brush strokes.

Allows you to add text and to format it.

A pressure-sensitive tool for erasing parts of a drawing.

Allows you to recolour pencil lines with precision by changing the colour of one segment at a time.

Allows you to empty filled colour zones of their colour and texture.

Allows you to create invisible lines that can serve as colour zones that can be filled, or close the gaps in existing colour zones.

Allows you to close open shapes so that they can be filled with the Paint tool. By drawing a stroke near a small gap in a shape, this tool will create a small invisible stroke connecting the two closest points around the gap.

Draws a straight line segment going from one point to the other.

Draws a rectangle.

Allows you to draw shapes, segmented lines or complex curved lines by clicking to create each point in the sequence of line segments.

Allows you to select a colour by clicking on a colour in your artwork.

Allows you to select a pencil texture by clicking on a textured pencil line.

Allows you to position the pivot on a drawing layer by clicking where you want its location to be.

Allows you to create and configure a morphing sequence, which will automatically generate the in-betweens between two drawings in the current layer.

Allows you to pan the Camera and Drawing views.

Allows you zoom in and out of the Camera and Drawing views.

Lets you rotate the Camera and Drawing views just like with a real animation disc.

Allows you to temporarily move drawings so you can trace over them in other drawings using Onion Skin.

When this option is selected, every time you use the Transform or Advanced Animation tools to manipulate an element in your scene, the position of the element will be stored in a keyframe at the current frame. This allows you to animate elements in your scene without creating keyframes manually.

When this option is selected, if you use the Transform or Advanced Animation tools to make transformations to an element in your scene, the transformations will be stored as keyframes at the beginning and at the end of the current Onion Skin range, as well as on every existing keyframe in-between. This can be useful if you want to reposition an element that you have already animated, but only during a specific range of frames, which you can define by enabling Onion Skin and setting the Onion Skin range to cover that range of frames.

When this option is selected, if you use the Transform or Advanced Animation tools to make transformation to an element in your scene, the transformations will affect the element throughout the whole scene. This can be useful if you want to reposition an element after you have already animated it.

Displays the previous and next frames of an animation. Useful when animating cut-out characters.
