Google launched a new feature in Google Docs. Now you can add drawings to your Google Spreadsheets from within the Google Docs interface.

In order to access the drawing tool, open any document, document, spreadsheet or presentation, in Google Docs and click “Insert” and select “Drawing”. A new popup will open and you’ll be able to draw or add you custom drawing to you Google Docs.

The Official Google Apps blog points out some important features of Google Docs drawing tool:

  • Custom shapes and lines: Use the new ‘Polyline’ tool to create custom shapes, close shapes, fill them and reposition points.
  • Snap to Guides: Helps you align shapes with the canvas and other shapes when dragging and resizing.
  • Draw multiple lines: Start drawing a new line immediately after finishing a line, without having to re-select the line type.

I personally like this new feature as it allows most commonly used functions popular in desktop or online drawing tool.
