How can we improve Microsoft Whiteboard on Windows 10?

← Whiteboard for Windows 10

Add geometric primitives: line, circle, square, regular polygons.

Add geometric primitives: line, circle, square, regular polygons.
And basic geometric constraints: starting point, end point, perpendicular, tangent.

    Must add Benzene(hexagon) structure to it,
    it is very hard to draw a hexagon on display and it is also not recognized by ink to shape

    Yes... add these features as soon as possible... very needful concerning lessons etc...

    I'm using MS Paint, the old one, not 3D. It's got everything we're asking for in the comments here, except that to have a cartesian background you have to first copy and paste one from somewhere else.

    I thought switching to Whiteboard would be better because there's a grid background that would help with the kind of graphing work I'm doing with my students, but the clunkiness of pasting a grid into Paint is nothing compared with the clunkiness of the ruler in Whiteboard and the other deficiencies noted below. I use Snipping Tool (again, the old one is much more straightforward than Snip&Sketch) to paste my grid and any other graphics in.

    So, recommendation to users: Try MS Paint and Snipping Tool - you might have to search them up since they've been superseded by Paint 3D and Snip & Sketch, but it's worth it.

    I can't believe how this feature has not been added yet, is so important mainly considering how helpful this tool is for online lessons while struggling with the Covid-19 pandemic. Please, Microsoft team, try to improve this tool as much as you can since it has good potential.
    Thanks

    Let's have the basics - like some arrows and lines. Seems to me that a whole area of collaboration is missing if you cannot show relationship.

    With the Ink-to-shape not working 100%, ability to "drag and drop" geometrics, even basic one, would be much appreciated and it would increase usability of the app a lot. also, ability to resize the shape (wide/length, not proportionately lock) would be very useful.

    Once drawn (ink to shape) geometric shapes should be more adjustable other than simple rotatation and resizing. Also, what is with the odd line shapes when drawing geometric figures?

  • Orla Aaquist commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I don't think that Microsoft developers are paying any attention to these comments.
    and suggestions, Whiteboard does not seem to be much of a priority to them.

    como puedo tener figuras geométricas, exponentes, fracciones y términos matemáticos

    Line stroke styles would be helpful ... different dashes, dots, waves.

    Ability to change lines from strokes to guides. This makes the ability to use them as drawing templates. Great for K-5 pedagogy.

    Please add the same functionalities as in the draw function which is included in word and powerpoint

    changing the opacity of the whiteboard so I can draw or write on top of the bottom window it will be a huge add.
