To change the dimensions in one direction, drag the dimensions handle.NOTE: If you pinch or expand outside the ellipse guide, you will zoom in or out of the canvas. To proportionally scale the ellipse, pinch or expand within the ellipse with 2 fingers.To change the rotation, tap-drag within the ellipse and rotate with 2 fingers.To move horizontally and/or vertically, without changing its rotation, tap-drag within the ellipse with 1 finger.One controls the rotation and scale, the other controls scaling along the minor axis (non-proportional scale).įor Sketchbook mobile users, tap, then to access the ellipse. Both the rotation and degree of the ellipse are displayed in the readout at the bottom of the screen.Ĭreate a perfect ellipses tracing anywhere on the canvas, by moving and repositioning the guide. As you rotate an ellipse, the minor axis is displayed to line it up with your vanishing lines. Use to create ellipses, curves, and draw circles in perspective. To retain the curvature, but fit the ruler within the view, double-tap a handle.To reset the ruler to its original size and position, double-tap within the ruler (but not on a handle).To scale the ruler, pinch with two fingers within the ruler.To change the shape of the ruler, tap-drag a handle with one finger.To reset the ruler to the center of the canvas, double-click a handle.To create a stroke, draw on or near the section of the ruler you need.To move a ruler handle, click-drag a handle.


To move the ruler horizontally and/or vertically, without changing its rotation, tap-drag with 1 finger. To reposition the ruler horizontally or vertically, double-tap any outer handle. To pivot the ruler, use the opposite handle as the pivot, then tap-drag. Use to create a perfect line anywhere on the canvas, by moving and repositioning the ruler.ĭid you know you don't have to draw directly over the ruler? Drawing anywhere in the canvas still draws a line along the edge of the ruler. No matter which you use, they both can be moved, scaled, and rotated. Sketchbook has two rulers, a straight and curved. The version of Sketchbook you're running will determine the rules and guides available. Need help drawing a straight line, circle, ellipse, or curve? Try these rulers and guides, which can be found in the toolbar.
