Applying special effects
As well as the basic actions of moving and resizing an object, a number of special effects can also
be applied to objects in Draw. Several of these effects are readily available in the Mode toolbar
(Figure 104). If the Mode toolbar is not showing, select it from View > Toolbars > Mode.
The tools available on the Mode toolbar are described in the following sections with the exception
of the 3D rotation tool, which is described in Chapter 7 Working with 3D Objects.
Rotating objects
Rotation of an object can be carried out manually or using a dedicated dialog, just like changing
object position and size.
Manual rotation
1) Click on an object and the selection handles will show.
2) Click the Rotate icon in the Line and Filling or Mode toolbars or click again on the
selected object. The selection handles change shape and color (Figure 105).
