I put 66 built-in shapes in one picker under Add Object → Shapes & Imports → Shape. Drag on the bed to place lines, arrows, flowchart symbols, stars, callouts, and the rest. This is feature 1 of 69 in the V3 series.
What you'll see in the video
- A quick tour of the shape library: lines, rectangles, basic shapes, arrows, equation symbols, flowchart, stars, banners, and callouts
- I build a Bauhaus-style house from rectangles on the board, zooming and scaling as I go
- Duplicate the outline layer, then fill separate copies in red, blue, and yellow
- Delete outline strokes on the fill layers while keeping a black outline layer on top
- Export as layers (red, blue, yellow, black outline) for multi-pen plotting
- Watch the finished four-pass plot on the printer
