Sketching

The middle bar of buttons contains the drawing, highlighting and cropping tools.

• The first button looks like a small finger. (This pertains specifically to HP.)

• When this button is selected the touch screen can be used for drawing, if not selected the touch screen can't be used for drawing.

• The fourth button is the eraser.

• When erasing you can only erase whole strokes at a time.
• When selected, there is a drop down menu that says, Erase all ink. This will delete any and all drawings made to the screen shot.

Ruler/Protractor

• In Snip and Sketch there is an option to have a ruler or protractor on screen while you draw.
• This can be useful for drawing straight lines or proper angles.
• When selected, there is a drop down menu that allows you to choose between a ruler or protractor.

Cropping

• The 3 dots at the very end of the bar bring a drop down menu when clicked.
