The machine-assisted drawing tool may be available as an alternative drawing tool for bounding boxes and polygons. The contents of this page will be released on 31st of October. Currently available in our 'next' environment.

The rectangle tool

The rectangle tool allows you to create a machine assisted polygon or bounding box by simple dragging your cursor diagonally across the object. Once you let go the shape will be created.

The rectangle prompt tool

The rectangle prompt tool combines the previous two mentioned tools into one. So you have to both drag diagonally across the object and place green and red points. This can increase the accuracy of the machine assistance. A preview will appear which will update as you place the rectangle and points.
