Author Make a new object, photo pencil

I am using PhotoDraw to make technical drawings where the lines shall
have a photo-like appearance, e.g. wire- and fiber ropes, steel bars,
etc. I wish to use ‘photo pencil' to be able to change the attributes,
such as length and shape, without changing the photo-texture.

Is it possible to design new objects to add to the library, - and if
so, - how can that be done?

You can save custom shapes you make from within the Shapes Tool Bar.
There's a button at the bottom "Save New Shape". One thing you mentioned
textures. PhotoDraw Locks the texture on an object. If you enl;arge or
shring an object the texture will skew. You would need to reapply the
texture after resizing the object to keep everything uniform.
