How To Add a Drawing To a Note On a Mac

It is easy to add a drawing to a note in the Notes app on an iPhone or iPad. But what about on a Mac? You'll need to add a blank image first, but once you set it up the first time it is easy to add a drawing or sketch to any note.

    Clever stuff, Gary. Could a 'Pencil', or another implement be used on the trackpad?

    Gerry: The Apple Pencil can't be used with the Mac Trackpad. There is something special build into iPad displays that works with it. I've never seen anyone use a touch pointer or anything like that with a Trackpad either. It is probably because a Trackpad is very different than a touch screen in how you use it. It doesn't map to the screen like that.

    Many thanks for your courtesy, Gary. It can't be that simple a problem either, or some enterprising electrician would already be challenging Elon for the rights.

    Clever idea. Thanx! And great seeing another use for Shortcuts. A convenient place to store the blank image might be in another note.

    This was useful, but I was wondering if there is a way to insert a text box in a note and move it to any location within that note. Currently, it looks like any photo or file you insert can only be left justified in the note. Thanks!

    Vernon: You don't really have that sort of control in Notes. If you need to design something like that, use Pages instead.
