Chapter 7 Changing Object Properties 155
Note: For drawn shapes, you can set opacity for fill and stroke colors separately from
object opacity. If you move the Opacity slider in the Colors window to modify a fill or
stroke color, that opacity value becomes maximum object opacity. Then, when you
change the object opacity in the Graphic Inspector, you are changing it relative to the
opacity you set in the Colors window.
Changing the Orientation
You can flip or rotate any object by using the Metrics Inspector. For example, if you
have an image of an arrow that you want to use in your document, but you need it to
point in a different direction, you can reverse its direction vertically or horizontally, or
point it at any angle.
To open the Metrics Inspector:
m Click Inspector in the toolbar (or choose Choose View > Show Inspector), and then
click the Metrics Inspector button.
