Adding shapes and symbols to the diagram

Adding shapes from panels and toolbars

Open the shapes library panel with the shape icon in the left toolbar.

The Shapes Library panel displays all shapes and symbols by category. You can open and collapse each single category as well as all categories at once. To find a shape even faster, you can use the search bar function and find a shape by name.

After selecting and holding a shape drag it to the diagram canvas.

Each time you select a shape or symbol in the shapes library panel, it will be also added to the top favorites bar and marked as current selected shape. This way you can quickly add all frequently used shapes directly from the favorites bar.

The shape icon in the left toolbar always shows the currently selected shape or symbol.

Adding shapes with predefined color styles

To add shapes with different color styles, you can add them from the top color style toolbar or from the Themes collection in the Color Styles panel.
