![]() Click the shape you want, but be aware that you get only one shot, since the popover vanishes forever after you choose, or if you deselect the shape. After drawing a shape, look closely at the upper-left corner of the window, where a small popover appears with your original and a choice of possible replacement shapes (Figure 52). Thankfully, if you don’t care for Preview’s interpretations, or if Preview couldn’t see that you meant to draw a speech bubble, you have a chance to correct it. ![]() Usually, if you draw an unidentifiable squiggle, Preview leaves the squiggle as is, but sometimes it tries to replace it with a smoothly drawn line. Likewise with triangles, ovals, lines, arrows, and other shapes. If Preview thinks you are trying to draw a square, for instance, it automatically changes your drawing to be a proper square shape. What Preview does next depends on what you draw. In the Markup toolbar, click the Sketch icon. You can also create lines with arrow ends. If you’d rather draw shapes yourself, Preview lets you do that, too. You might find that better than drawing a line and hoping itll be interpreted as a straight line.
