The draw tool is a helpful communication feature that enables you to visually identify objects on the screen, draw, add text, and more. To activate the draw tool, move your mouse to the bottom of your Evercast room until the icons appear, then click the paintbrush icon.
To change the type, size, or color of the draw tool you are using, move your mouse to the left side of the screen and the tool drawer will pop out. Now, you can select from a variety of tools, change the size and/or color, and clear all drawings.
How to use the various draw tool options
Pencil: Create freeform drawings by dragging the mouse on screen as needed. Select a color by clicking the 'Stroke Color' button in the toolbox drawer.
Line: Draw straight lines to connect objects and areas on the screen in a straight line. Select a color by clicking the 'Stroke Color' button in the toolbox drawer.
Arrow: Works just like the line tool, but is ideal for pointing out objects or areas on the screen. Select a color by clicking the 'Stroke Color' button in the toolbox drawer.
Dash: Creates a dashed straight line and works well for striking out objects and/or areas to be removed. Select a color by clicking the 'Stroke Color' button in the toolbox drawer.
Circle: Creates circle or oval shapes with the option to edit both the stroke (border) color and fill color.
Square: Creates square or rectangular shapes with the option to edit both the stroke (border) color and fill color.
Text: Creates a textbox on screen. You can customize the font family, font size, bold and/or italicize the text, and select a color by clicking the 'Stroke Color' button in the toolbox drawer.
Eraser: Erases specific areas of any drawings/text you've added to the screen.
