Hello,
Does anybody know if drawing perfect shapes is supported in Keynote, Pages etc? Or is it still restricted to Notes, Mail and other Markup-enabled apps?
Using: Apple Pencil 2nd Gen, iPad Pro 11" (3rd gen), iPadOS 15.6
Thank you!
Hi akbhargava,
Thanks for posting in Apple Communities.
You can draw a shape in keynote.
Clickin the toolbar, then click
.
Click anywhere on the slide (or its surrounding workspace) to create the first point of the custom shape.
Move the pointer, then click to create another point; continue adding as many points as you want.
To create a curved segment, click then drag, then click again to finish the segment.
To delete a segment you just created, click a point to select it, then press the Delete key.
To complete the drawing, do one of the following:
Close the shape (add a solid line between the last and first points): Click the first point.
Leave the shape open (add no line between the last and first points): Press Return or Esc.
You can find these steps and additional information in Draw a shape in Keynote on Mac.
Regards.
I believe the directions provided above apply to Mac, not iPad. Here is a link about drawing with Apple Pencil on iPad in Keynote --> Add and edit drawings in Keynote on iPad – Apple Support (UK)
Thank you! This is exactly what I needed to understand.
I would love to see this functionality where I can free-hand draw using the Apple Pencil and convert those hand-drawn shapes to perfect shapes.
It would also be great if that could be supported in all apps that allow you to draw, not just Markup apps.
Oh well!
I tested it and it doesn’t appear that drawing perfect shapes works in pages or keynote.
Apple does invite feedback via this link, so let Apple know what your thoughts are --> Feedback - iPad - Apple
Thank you!
You're welcome.
