How to Use Templates and Freehand Drawing Tools

Selecting a Diagram Template

Before placing down components, you can adjust the look of your drawing board to organize different production lines.

1. Open your Diagram tool interface with a right-click.

2. Navigate to the template selection menu within the editor.

3. Choose a colored diagram template to set a clean background theme for your current schematic.

4. Use distinct template colors to separate different factory projects, such as material processing or casing assembly.

Drawing Shapes with the Pen Tool

In addition to connecting icons with straight paths, you can use the pen tool to create custom visual boundaries and annotations.

1. Activate the built-in pen tool from the diagram interface.

2. Use the freehand mode to sketch freehand shapes around groups of related machines, marking specific operational zones or floor footprints.

3. Toggle the tool to draw clean, straight lines between components when linking inputs and outputs.

4. Combine freehand outlines, straight lines, and placed icons to create complete, easy-to-read schematics for your factory layout.
