If this is your first time using Dabbleboard, we suggest viewing the Tour to kickstart drawing with Dabbleboard. If you already know the basics, see the User Guide, or some Examples of drawings.
If you're having trouble using any of Dabbleboard's features, please contact us.
In the tour you'll learn how to:
- Draw basic shapes: Just draw. Dabbleboard will automatically detect basic shapes like straight & curved lines, rectangles, circles, diamonds, and triangles. Make sure the Freehand button is not selected.
- Draw freehand: Click the Freehand button to draw anything you like. You can still move and resize objects just like any other shapes.
- Enter text: Just click anywhere and start typing.
