Hi, Sam:

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out.  I must have messed up the Circle tool some how, so I just deleted the whole program and re-installed it again.  Then it worked the way it was suppose to.  But I still needed help to get the Line to show up.  That was a good video; just wished they added narration (would have made it a little easier).
Do you know of any way to save settings ?  They always seem to divert back to the way they were.  This is a great software program once one really learns how to use it.

Hi Ken,

You need the shape tool. In Windows you can use the F5 key to activate the circle tool, and then use Shift + CTRL + F to open the properties window. In this window you can set the background color of the circle and the color of the line.

Here's a video on YouTube.

All I want to do to begin with is draw a simple Line Circle. (white background with white inside the circle).

But instead it draws a dashed-rectangle with (4) little squares.  Two squares are on the rectangle and the other two are outside.  So, I go into: Edit, Preferences and the Circle it not even listed under Shapes!   Crazy.

Does anybody know what I should do?

Thank you.

Ken
