Drawing shapes is very important to industrial design. You can draw rectangles, regular polygons and ellipses simply by choosing the center and side lengths. Drawing polygons is a bit more complicated because you must choose either inscribed or circumscribed. Hatch patterns can also be applied for easier differentiating between shapes.
Once the shapes have been created there are many tools for editing them. This includes changing the dimensions, moving and copying, rotating, trimming, extending, and creating offsets. Most of theses are accessed in the modify panel. Moving, copying, rotating, and creating offsets are as simple as choosing the direction and length. Trimming and extending are a little different, you must first choose the line(s) you want to be the "cutter" and then select the lines you want to cut.
