    In the transformation palette, check that you don't have a default deformation of 45° displayed....

      Hello

      Resetting the essential tools can solve the problem.

        Hello, as you can see in the attached image, my settings are at zero degrees just like yours, and yet it draws diamonds instead of rectangles (I've reset the tools, it didn't change anything).

          Check if the value changes when you draw... because afterwards, it's normal for it to return to 0°
          Also, try drawing while holding down the "Shift" key...
          Also, check the software updates...

          No, the value does not change when I draw or resize the shape; it always shows 0°.

          I tried drawing while holding Shift, but it's the same, it draws diamonds instead of rectangles.

          Your trace is so small that I wonder if you might be stuck to the grid and that it is distorting your trace..

          Uncheck "snap to pixel grid" in the Transformation window before tracing...

          But resetting should have put things back in order... weird... especially if it occurred abruptly...
          and no other strange behaviors?

        Thank you, it worked (even though I would have liked not to have to modify the settings of my tools)
