dvgibson 7 Posted October 12 Evernote Windows has a Ink note type that you can do handwritting and drawings using a laptop or tablet that supports a pen or stylus input. One opt is to make regular shapes (I guess) like circles and rectangles. But nothing in help on it and I cannot get it to do any thing. Ink could be a very useful thing with a bit of work .

Snap to Shape works by a long press after completing the shape The Ink feature is documented here https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001598367-How-to-create-ink-notes-in-Evernote-for-Windows Snap-to-Shape: "Snaps" freehand drawings into precise lines and shapes.

dvgibson 7 Posted October 12 Thank you, DTLow, that is a feature description, similar to the hover over help. That how I found out there is a feature Snap to Shape. But nothing about how to make use of it. Share this post Link to post
Dave-in-Decatur 914 Posted October 12 I'm just working on a desktop computer using a mouse, not a pen or stylus. I find that when I click the Shape icon, it turns the feature on, and then when I draw something remotely resembling a square (I can't draw well at all), the shape is turned in to a perfectly regular square. Likewise with a triangle, circle, ellipse, etc. When the feature is turned off, my crude attempts stay crude. 1 Share this post Link to post
Don Dz 121 Posted October 13 It seems ink cannot be combined with text or other edit elements, is that so? If so, it seems limited. Share this post Link to post
dvgibson 7 Posted October 13 Hum, so it does work for some, maybe its the version I have on my laptop. Thanks for the help confirming. Share this post Link to post

The Ink editor is a special MS control so it doesn't integrate with the editor window (chrome) at all. Share this post Link to post

The Ink editor is a special MS control so it doesn't integrate with the editor window (chrome) at all. On Mac/Pad, "ink" is simply an element in the note; an attachment like an image No problem combining with text or other elements Instead of the "MS control", we can use an external editor for the "ink".
