Create Scribbles in the Scribble Pool
Create Scribbles in Other Pool Objects

Hint:
It is possible to create scribbles in the scribble pool or when labeling objects.

Create Scribbles in the Scribble Pool

Access the scribble pool.
- Open the Add Window.
- Open Pools.
- Open Scribbles.

For more information see Add Windows.

Store a new scribble.
- Tap and hold an empty pool object.
The new scribble is saved.
Create a scribble.
- Press Edit and tap the scribble you saved.
The pop-up Edit Scribble opens.

Label the scribble:
- Tap Name.
- The pop-up Edit Name opens.
- Give the scribble a name.
Select the color of the scribble.
- Tap the color picker.
Set the brightness of the color.
- Move the B fader.
Set the thickness of the scribble.
- Move the Thickness fader.
To scribble, move your finger across the scribble pad on the left of the pop-up.
To delete the last step made in the scribble, tap Undo.
To apply the scribble, tap Apply.

Hint:
The color and the thickness settings of a scribble are saved during the use of a grandMA3 console. Once the console is powered down, these settings are reset.

The scribble is applied to the scribble pool.

Create Scribbles in Other Pool Objects

This example is based on the object of a group pool.

Requirement:

The group pool is open

Save a new pool object in the group pool.
Label the new pool object.
- Press Assign Assign and tap the pool object.
- The virtual keyboard opens.
Tap in the title bar of the keyboard.
- The virtual keyboard expands and opens the scribble pad and its controls.
Follow steps 5 to 8 described in the scribble pool.

The scribble is automatically saved on the next free position in the scribble pool and applied to the pool object of the group pool.

Important:
Creating scribbles outside the scribble pool spams the pool, because every scribble created with the label function within other pools is saved as a new scribble in the scribble pool.
To learn how to avoid spamming, see Assign Scribbles.
