The Draw tool is used to create curves and freeform shapes. It can be selected from the Canvas toolbox. If you are unfamiliar with how curves work in Genetica, you may wish to begin by reading Understanding Curves. If you want to create common shapes such as circles and stars, try the Shape tool.

Click in workspace to add straight segments. |
Drag in workspace to add curved segments.

To continue adding segments to a previously created curve, select it in the tree view to the right of the workspace, position the mouse over one of the curve's end points, then begin clicking or dragging. |
To close a curve, add a final segment that connects with the curve's starting point. |
To refine your drawing, switch to the Edit tool. |
Stroke Section
If an open curve is selected in the workspace, a single slider "Width" will appear in the tool's ribbon. This slider modifies the width of the stroke applied to the selected curve.
