Hi guys,
I tried to draw a perfect circle/square by pressing CTRL button. But all I get is the ellipse or rectangle. Anybody facing the similar problems? please help
Thank you very much

cannot draw perfect circles and squares even after pressing CTRL
Re: cannot draw perfect circles and squares even after pressing CTRL
Holding CTRL (not just pressing and releasing) while you draw constrains the shapes to integer ratios - e.g. 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 1:2, 1:3. For a circle or square it must be 1:1, which you achieve by dragging close to a 45 degree line from the start point. If you check the status bar at the bottom of the window as you drag it will tell you that the ratio has been constrained, and what the ratio is, so you can adjust back to that 45 degree line if you need to.
