The ToolBar
The Toolbar is primarily for drawing and formatting graphic shapes. The ToolBar
is usually visible. If the ToolBar is not visible, select View ToolBar
from the Window menu.

The ToolBar contains the following tools.
 |
Selection Tool: Use
this tool to change the selection mode of the document. Click on the bottom right
corner of the tool button to display a popup menu with these three selection option tools:
 |
Normal |
Use the normal selection pointer to select, move, and activate items in
the workspace. |
 |
Rotate |
When positioned at the corners of a selected frame or graphic item, the
rotation pointer allows you to freely rotate an item or frame. This pointer works like a
normal pointer when not positioned at the corner of a frame or item. |
 |
Reshape |
When positioned over the handle of a graphic item, this point allows you
to freely reshape an item. This is especially useful for graphic items with many
handles, such as a curve or Beizer Curve. This pointer works like a normal pointer
when not positioned at the handles on a curve. |
|
 |
Frame Tool: Use this tool to "draw" a new frame in the current
workspace. To draw a new frame click the tool and select the type of frame you want
to create from the popup menu. The cursor changes to a cross hair (+).
Proceed to "draw" the new frame in the workspace.
|
|
Graphic Tools: Use these tools for drawing graphic
shapes.
- Click once on the tool to draw a single graphic. When finished drawing the graphic
item, the cursor returns to the selection tool.
- Double-click the tool for continuous drawing of that type of item. The cursor does
not return to a selection tool when finished drawing. To unlock the continuous
drawing mode, click the tool once.
