To digitize closed shapes...

1Select an outline or fill stitch type.

2Select the Closed Object tool and digitize the boundary of the shape by marking reference points around its outline:

Follow the prompts in the Status Bar to help you digitize. If you make a mistake, press Backspace to delete the last reference point, then continue adding reference points or press Esc to delete all the points so you can start again.

3Close the shape.

4Repeat as many times as necessary to create more objects.

By default, objects are joined by the Closest Join method. If deactivated, all newly digitized objects are joined by the As Digitized method. This means you need to specify entry and exit points, following prompts in the Status Bar.
