After drawing a rectangle, I usually adjust the size, move the position, or adjust the chamfer.

In fact, every time I draw a rectangle, the tool will stay on drawing the rectangle, and I need to manually switch to the move tool.

Maybe I am used to the operation of Adobe and think that using Designer 2 is more cumbersome, or maybe I have a completely different design habit from everyone else.

I just want to talk about my experience, that's all.

我在绘制矩形后一般会调整大小,或者移动位置,又或者调整倒角。

事实上每次绘制一个矩形后,工具会停留在继续绘制矩形上,我需要手动切换成移动工具。

也许我习惯了adobe的操作方式,觉得用Designer 2会比较繁琐,又或者我有一个与大家完全不同的设计习惯。

我只是想说出来我的体验,仅此而已。

Hi Leton,

Is it a problem to directly push the 'V' key (to switch to the 'move'tool) after you have drawn the rectangle? For me that works.

In Designer...

If you are using the Move Tool and want to draw a Rectangle just press and hold the M key (the shortcut for a Rectangle) draw your Rectangle then let go of the M key, the Move Tool will then still be active

To move a shape after you have just drawn it, while still using a shape tool (e.g. Rectangle Tool), you can move the mouse pointer over the shape boundary box to see the mouse pointer change to a ‘four-way-arrow’.

If you drag from there you can move the shape without needing to select the Move Tool.

Resizing the shape or, for the Rectangle, adjusting the chamfer, can also be done without changing to the Move Tool.
