Drawing Tools

The Drawing Tools feature is accessed from the Drawing Tools menu icon on the GoToTraining Grab Tab. The drawing tools include the pen, highlighter, arrow and spotlight, allowing you to draw, highlight and point to items of interest right on the screen. You can enable attendees to use the drawing tools, but they are not able to use the spotlight or to erase all markings.

Once a drawing tool is enabled, the Drawing Tools menu can be selected by either clicking the Drawing Tools menu icon or by right-clicking your mouse. To deactivate the drawing tool, select Normal non-drawing mode from the menu.

Note: Drawing tools are not currently available on Windows 8.

The Drawing Tools feature is currently available only for training sessions hosted by organizers using Windows.

Mac users cannot enable/disable drawing tools, even if promoted to co-organizer during a training session.
