Hello, 

i'd like to know if there is a way to draw a perfect circle in Fresco (or a square) for iPad?

Is there any shape tool? or anything else to do it?

If not, maybe it would be great to add it on the next update, it can be really helpfull for the first sketches.

Maybe a tool like in Procreate since Fresco seem to be a direct competitor to Procreate.

I love Fresco but with this tool i would love it more;-)

Thanks a lot!

j.

You might be able to use the selection tool to create your shapes. They work better with the fill tool than any of the brushes but at this point using the selection tool to create a square or circle would probably be your best bet. You could also use the ruler to create a square. Or draw a line hold the point in place and the line will straighten.

Other than the options in the selection tool there is no way to create shapes really though.

And you are using the circle tool to draw around? I use the circle and square shape tools (bottom right corner where you see the ruler icon as an alternative option) to draw the lines. Not sure why they bury them as it drove me crazy at first trying to find them. I agree a feature to draw circles like the lines automatically would be amazing. I do miss that feature from other drawing apps. When I'm trying to create filled in partial objects like half a circle I fill in the whole object then sele

This is not the correct answer. The question is how to DRAW a circle. The question is not how to use the selection tool to select a circular shape.

Yep. I quit using Fresco because this is such an integral element to my workflow that I can easily and quickly do without a struggle multiple menus deep in (another program that starts with P and ends with create). honestly Fresco has very poor user experience overall. Maybe it is powerful but after using the other program for 10 minutes I was able to do so many things that were unintuitive or seemed impossible in Fresco.
