Draw Guide

You can customize options like the spacing between lines, the angle and the color of
the lines. There is no way to edit the line thickness.

Creating your own bitmap fill
You can add your own bitmap images to fill an area. First, you need to create the
bitmap image. This could be a photo or another sketch you have created in another
program. For example, you can draw something with Draw and export it as a PNG
format image file.
To export a PNG image file: Create the image, select it, then choose File > Export,
choose PNG from the pull-down list of file formats, give the file a name, and save it.
To use an image as a bitmap fill, open the Area dialog and click on the Bitmaps tab
(Figure 92).
