Chapter 4: Drawing And Vector Effects
Vector and image type shadows with
different offsets
You can apply shadow effects to any vector or text object except dimension objects and Smart Lines.
If you apply a vector shadow to a group of objects, Canvas groups the shadow objects and places the
shadow behind the original group. If you apply a shadow to a paint object, Canvas creates a shadow
of the paint object’s bounding box.
To create an offset shadow:
1. Select an object and choose Effects | Shadow.
2. In the Shadow dialog box, select options (see "Shadow options" on page 396).
3. Click Apply to see the effect. To accept the settings and close the dialog box, click OK.
