Hi all,

Forgive me if this has already been asked: The pencil tool is very useful to me. However, I can never get the start and end points to meet up when I complete a shape. Is there a way of seeing where a line is started? Perhaps even join it up automatically. Maybe this isn't possible at all. Any suggestions would be great. I've attached a small video of me adding a shape and guessing where to end up (you can see me using the 'Close Curve' tool at the end).

I think what you want is to check the two boxes Use Fill and Auto Close.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Oh wow. What a chump I am! That's perfect - thank you Bruce, you're a star.
