Now we can draw bishop's body. Draw polyline and two arcs. Select all shapes. You can select (select mode get by right mouse button) more shapes by enveloping them with rubber band in the drawing window or by holding Ctrl and clicking on shapes names in drawing tree. Remember, only shapes from one layer can be selected, as we draw object oriented picture. |

To the middle of bishop draw black cross. The best is to use properties
for exact coordinates. This cross will be reused by king's drawing. In
the middle of bishop place snap point. And we are done with white bishop.
