| Snap to Grid | The Snap to Grid menu item aligns objects to the grid for more precise drawing modifications |
| Snap to Lines | The Snap to Lines menu item aligns objects with the nearest lines. |
| Snap to Points/Pixels | The Snap to Points/Pixels menu item aligns objects to whole pixel numbers for simplified object modification and increased accuracy. |

To see this option in action, disable the Snap to Grid option, make certain Snap to Shapes is enabled, and then draw a star or rectangle.

| Select Individually (Classic) | The Select Individually (Classic) option enables the same behavior experienced when select shapes in TouchDraw 1. All of the handles for all of the the selected shapes will be displayed in the Drawing Canvas. |
