The Lasso Tool is one of the most flexible and powerful tools in GoodNotes. It allows you to do all sorts of actions:
- rearranging
- copy, cut, paste
- resizing,
- rotating
- selecting
- converting
- taking screenshots
- changing color of text subsequently
- deleting
- dragging and dropping
Start by selecting something
With the Lasso Tool, you can select or "lasso" objects on a page by circling them. This works for handwriting, highlighting, text boxes, and images. The selection will be indicated by a blue, dashed line. The selection can now be moved by dragging it across the page.
Use the contextual menu
To perform more actions on the selection, bring up the contextual menu by tapping on the selection briefly. Please note that you don't need to tap and hold or "longpress. This is needed for drag & drop actions.
