Using the Toolbox
In the toolbox, there are tools to make
marks, draw shapes, fill shapes with
color, view and navigate, and make
selections. There are also six selectors
that let you choose papers, gradients,
patterns, weaves, looks, and nozzles.
The toolbox.
Some tools of similar function share a
space in the toolbox. The button for
only one of these tools is displayed at a
time. Any tool that has a triangle in
the bottom-right corner has one or
more tools underneath it in a flyout
menu.
The toolbox is open by default;
however, it can be closed. You can
move the toolbox around the
document window, and you can dock
the toolbox to the document window
or to other palettes.
The current tool can be modified by
options on the property bar, which
change as you change tools. For more
information, see “Using the Property
Bar” on page 14.
