| We know that many of you will never read the manual and would rather just start using Create. That's fine; we think that Create is easy to explore. However, there are just a few things that will make learning Create easier, so even if you never look at the rest of the manual, please take a moment and read this short chapter. To get the most out of Create, we strongly suggest that you refer to Chapter 4, Inspectors. TOPICS Basic concepts In Create, you build a document in a document window. Each document is made up of various graphic images. Graphic images are individual objects that have various characteristics such as size, location, and rotation. These objects can be moved, resized, cut, copied, and pasted into the same or other documents. You create objects by using tools from the Tool palette. (See the visual guide at the end of this chapter and Chapter 3 for more information on the various tools.) All objects have object handles that appear when you select an object by clicking on it with the Selection tool (select the object). You modify objects by selecting them and then modifying their graphic characteristics. Graphic characteristics are controlled through inspectors that are loaded into the Inspector panel. Each inspector modifies particular graphic characteristics; each graphic object has particular characteristics that can be modified. Since graphic objects have different characteristics, different inspectors apply to the various types of objects. | |||||||
