 Select a shape tool.

  • Shift‑drag to constrain the shape’s aspect ratio.

  • Alt‑drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) to draw from the center of the shape.

  • Shift+Alt‑drag (Windows) or Shift+Option-drag (Mac OS) to constrain the aspect ratio and draw from the center.

  • Drag diagonally across the corner points to flip the shape diagonally as you draw.

  • Drag across, up, or down to flip the shape horizontally or vertically as you draw.

    To flip the shape after you’ve drawn it, use the Selection tool to drag a corner point in the direction you want it to flip.
