Make Your Own Spirograph
With many of the drawing tools, you can create multiple shapes by holding down the tilde key (~) as you drag. It’s an interesting way to create wire frame shapes—or a computerized spirograph. (Note: Make sure you let go of the tool before you let go of the tilde key, or all of your wire framework will disappear and you’ll be left with one object.)
