SINGLE LEFT-CLICK
If you single-click the left mouse button on a Drawing Tool, this will "select" the tool, and you will see the "control points" highlighted on the tool. While in this mode:
- Re-size – you can click and drag the control points, to re-size the tool, if applicable

- Delete – you can delete the selected tool by pressing Delete on the keyboard
DOUBLE LEFT-CLICK
If you double-click the left mouse button on a Drawing Tool, you will see the Format Tool dialog, which allows you to customize line thickness, style, colour and other attributes. Only the options applicable to the clicked-on tool will be available in the Format Tool dialog.
