  • Click Start digitizing and use the left mouse button to digitize.
  • Click Connect to start if you want to close the polygon.
  • Click Stop digitizing to save the line/polygon.

You can also use the keyboard short-cut keys to digitize.

A digitized line is saved in the workspace by default. This means you will have to copy it from the workspace and into the project. You can also use the Save digitized line also in folder option to save it directly in the project. Just tick the check box and browse in the folder you would like to save it to.
