Graphic Item Selection

Selection and Activation of graphics frames work as described elsewhere. This topic describes how to select individual graphics items for manipulation.

 

By default, graphics item selection occurs in Normal mode. However, you can change this mode at any time by clicking the desired selection tool on the Drawing Toolbar:

 

 

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 bezigon (Bezier Curve). This pointer works like a normal pointer when not posi­tioned at the handles on a curve.
