Editor tools

Every tool, panel, and shortcut when working on a course sketch.

The toolbar controls how you draw and edit on the canvas. Pick a tool, click or drag on the arena, and use the panels for details.

Drawing tools

Select

Select and move objects on the sketch. Nudge a selection with the arrow keys (hold Shift for a larger step).

Symbol

Stamp fences and other symbols from the library. Pick a symbol in the panel and click the canvas to place it.

Text

Add text labels. Double-click or press Enter on selected text to edit.

Freehand

Draw freehand lines and shapes.

Ride path

Draw the track between fences. Length and times tie into class settings and can be used for time-allowed calculations.

Shapes

Open the shapes menu and choose:

  • Rectangle
  • Rounded rectangle
  • Ellipse
  • Line
  • Arrow

Drag on the canvas to create the shape.

Image

Insert an image file onto the sketch (for example a logo or background detail).

Toolbar panels

These open settings panels instead of drawing directly:

Arena

Arena dimensions, shape, and meter grid. This is where you set the to-scale surface.

Class

Class details: rulebook, height, judging table, tempo, and time allowed. Place class info on the sketch when you need it visible.

Competitions

Manage the day’s classes. Available on base sketches — use when several classes share the same layout.

Settings

Sketch and document settings.

Display

What is shown on the canvas (guides, layers, and similar display options).

Panels and rulebook

  • Show/hide left panel and right panel — free up canvas space.
  • Rulebook issues — when rulebook warnings exist, a shortcut appears in the toolbar.

Edit
