Drawing Models in Adobe Animate _ Animate Part 2

 

Merge Drawing and Object drawing are the two models used to create shapes in Animate.

Merge drawing model This is the default drawing model in animate that merges shapes automatically when you draw them overlapping with each other. In this model, on moving a shape that has been merged with another shape, the shape below it also moves.

Object drawing model This model allows you to draw shapes as separate objects that do not merge when you overlap them. Using this model, you can create primitive rectangles and ovals in the Primitive mode. You can also specify the corner radius of the rectangles and inner radius of the ovals in the Property Inspector window. This option is good to create pie wedges, round off corners, and other curved shapes.
