Details for each drawing
Drawing objects are the various elements of the drawing, for example, text, circles, rectangles ... Each object is used to draw a specific type of graphic element (box, arc ...) on the drawing. Use the drawing tools for this. Most objects can be drawn and positioned with the mouse (the mouse operates slightly differently depending on the type of object) but fine details of lines, positions and colours etc can be set via the Object Properties.
