Getting Started with Drawing Tools

Tool Selection

When selecting drawing tools, it's important to consider the specific needs of your project. Different tools offer varying levels of precision and control, so it's vital to choose the tool that best suits the task at hand. Take into account factors such as line weight, texture, and brush style to ensure the tool selected aligns with your artistic vision.

Tool Locking

To prevent accidental changes, you can lock specific tools in the Drawing Tools section. This ensures that the tools remain unchanged and helps maintain the integrity of your work. By locking the tools, you can focus on your design without the risk of unintentional modifications.

Drawing and Erasing

The Draw tool allows you to create free-form shapes and lines, while the Eraser tool enables you to remove any unwanted elements from your artwork. Mastering the use of these tools is essential for precise and efficient artwork creation.

Shape Creation

Shapes like rectangles and ellipses can be easily created with precision using the Shape Creation feature. This allows for accurate and efficient design work within the Athena platform.

Adding Text and Notes

When adding text and notes to your canvas in Athena, you have the flexibility to incorporate annotations and textual elements seamlessly. This feature allows for clear communication and collaboration within your data exploration and analysis process.

File and View Management

Manage your canvas with ease using the file and view management features. Zoom in and out to focus on specific areas of your canvas, and utilize the print function to create physical copies of your work. Additionally, you can upload media to enhance your canvas with external content, providing a comprehensive view management experience.

Editing and Transformations

When editing and transforming your canvas in Athena, you have the ability to undo, redo, cut, copy, paste, and perform other essential actions. These features allow for seamless adjustments and modifications to your canvas, ensuring a smooth and efficient editing process.
