Triangle, Rectangle, Circle, & Ellipse
The Triangle, Rectangle, Circle, and Ellipse commands allow you to specify the placement of
these automatically drawn geometric figures into the badge, and to manipulate them to suit the
overall badge design.
By selecting any of these commands, you may position the figure on the badge by placing the mouse
pointer in the approximate location in which the figure is required, clicking and holding down the left
mouse button, and dragging the pointer from the point of origin. The figure displays on to the screen.

mouse button and drag the “Handle” until the triangle or ellipse resolves itself to the required
