# Pencil tool Click and drag in the viewport to draw with the Pencil. {% hint style="info" %} A single Shape can contain more more than one Path. Select your Shape and hold `ctrl/cmd` as you draw to add to an existing path. {% endhint %} ### Tool settings **Stroke Width** - set the width of the Stroke. **Cap Style** - set the appearance of caps (each end of the stroke) for open paths. * **Flat** - a flat end that terminates at the end point. * **Round** - a hemispherical end with the end point at its centre. * **Projecting** - a flat end that projects half the Width beyond the end point. **Accuracy** - determine how closely your resulting shape resembles your cursor movements. A higher setting will result in a more accurate shape but will create more points. **Close Distance** - if you end your line within this value of the start point a closed path will be created. Note - this value is independent of the Viewport scale. ### Beta We've started work on a **redraw** feature which allows you to redraw pencil paths. To try it out: 1. Draw an open path with the **Pencil**. 2. Hold `r` and hover over the path. A preview line should appear. 3. `click` and start drawing. The end of the path will be removed and replaced with the one you draw in step 3. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
