# Pencil

With the Pencil tool, you can use your mouse, or graphic tablet and pen, to draw centerline shapes.

The points that make up a pencil line run down the center of the line. You can change the direction of a pencil line by using the Contour Editor to move the points that make up the line.

Use one of the following methods to activate this tool:

- Select Tools > Drawing Tools > Pencil.
- Click the Pencil tool on the Drawing Tools toolbar.

If the Pencil tool is visible in the Drawing Tools toolbar, press [2] to activate it.
