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.

4Press Enter to complete the shape.

If you decide to close the object, use the Edit > Close Curve ... commands with the option of using straight or curved points.
