Drawing 5-5
As you use the drawing tools, keep the following tips in mind:
You’ll find complete instructions for customizing the AppleWorks drawing
tools in onscreen Help.
To Do this
Limit movement of the line, arc,
polygon, bezigon, and regular
polygon tools to 45º, 90º, and 180º
Hold down Shift as you draw. (Holding down Shift also
limits the movement of the arrow pointer as you
move selected objects.)
Set the number of sides on a
regular polygon
Select the regular polygon tool and choose Polygon
Sides from the Edit menu. Type the number of sides
(from 3 to 40), and then click OK.
Set the angle of rounded corners Select the object and choose Corner Info from the Edit
menu. Choose an option, type a value for the angle of
curvature, and then click OK.
Set the angle of an arc Select the object and choose Arc Info from the Edit menu.
Choose Normal to omit frame edges; choose Frame Edges to
include frame edges (to make a wedge). Type values for
the position and angle of curvature, and then click OK.
Use the same tool repeatedly Double-click the tool. This highlights the tool and locks
it. To unlock, select another tool.
