How to make a Solar System diagram in MyDraw?

• Open a Blank drawing file in MyDraw.
• Select the ellipse shape from the basic shapes in the “Predefined library”.
• Drag and drop the ellipses into your drawing sheet.
• Remove the fill and choose a stroke from the “Shape style”.
• Right click on the shape and got to “Shape properties”. Navigate to “Transform” so you can copy and paste the same coordinates of Pin X and Pin Y of your ellipses.
• Arrange the planets in the correct order.
• Choose a Background fill from the Page properties, with a right click on the page.
• Save the file as a “Drawing template”.

Note:

The one thing you should keep in mind is the scale, you will need to represent the different planets according to differences in size. You should also realize that a true scale will probably not be possible when it comes to distance.
