Drawing predefined shapes

Using the Perfect Shapes collection, you can draw predefined shapes. Certain shapes — specifically basic shapes, arrow shapes, banner shapes, and callout shapes — contain diamond-shaped handles that are called glyphs. You can drag a glyph to modify the appearance of a shape.

Using the Shape tool, you can drag a glyph to alter a shape.

You can add text to the inside or outside of the shape. For example, you might want to put a label inside a flowchart symbol or a callout.
