    How do I draw a circle or a perfect square?

    • Select the Ellipse icon Ellipse icon.pngor the Rectangle icon Rectangle icon.png in the Drawing toolbar;
    • hold down the ⇧ Shift key;
    • Click and drag to draw the shape.

    This works the same way for the other shapes (star, diamond, etc.). The ⇧ Shift key can be combined with the Alt key to draw a figure from its center.
