However, Pen & Ink improvements are not available to all OneNote users. Remember, all of this can happen without the need for a ruler, which you previously needed. You will need to press the Shift key on your keyboard before you start drawing your line, and it will automatically draw a straight line between the starting point of your stroke and your cursor. OneNote users will now be able to create straight lines with a keyboard shortcut. Microsoft paid equal attention to improve the creation of straight ink lines in the Microsoft 365 app.
Pen & Ink experience improvements are not limited to the ability to create better shapes. Not only that, but you can drag to rotate or resize the shape while still holding the mouse cursor or pen. For instance, you can create a line, arrow, or shape in a single stroke, hold your pen in place for a few milliseconds, and the shape you just created will get converted to a neater one. However, these changes are not available to all.įor drawing shapes on OneNote, you can rely on the new 'Draw and Hold gesture.' As the name suggests, all you have to do is draw and then hold to be able to draw neater shapes. The OneNote Windows client now has the ability to help you draw 'neater' shapes and easily create straight lines. After announcing ' AI-backed voice commands' for OneNote for Mac, Microsoft has announced improvements to Pen & Ink experience in OneNote.
