Using the Tools panel
The Tools panel contains tools that allow you to select, draw, and edit objects; apply color to
objects; and create text. It is divided into four sections: Tools, View, Colors, and Snap. You can
customize the panel by adding and removing buttons.
Some tools in the Tools panel have a down arrow in the lower right corner. The down arrow
indicates the presence of a tool pop-up menu. You can select the other members of a tool pop-up
menu by clicking and holding on any tool that has a down arrow, then selecting from the pop-up
menu that appears.
