The term Drawing Elements refers to standard drawing tools, like lines, rectangles, arcs, etc. You can add these shapes to any drawing, to make a complete, detailed structure. You can find these tools in the **Drawing** tab.

Use the tools in the **Draw** group of this tab to create:

## Adding Drawing Elements to a Drawing

The **Drawing** tab contains all available Drawing Shapes. Adding one onto the Drawing Page is a simple click-and-drag procedure.

The *Scaffold* tab is active by default.

1. Click the **Drawing** tab, then locate the shape you want to draw and click it.
2. Click in the Drawing Page and drag your mouse to draw the element. Avontus Designer adds the new shape.
