PPEARANCE
While the marker is still active, and before you begin to draw or place markers,
you can change the appearance of your drawing or next marker in one of sev-
eral ways.
• Assign Marker Color
• Assign Line Style
• Assign Pointer Type
• Turn Pointer On/Off
Assigning Marker Colors
The color that the active marker displays is the color that the marker will be
anchored in. You can anchor markers of different colors on a single overlay.
The colors available during a presentation are based on those activated in the
Color Palette menu (See “Customizing the Color Palette“ in “Section Two:
Annotation Menu” on page 34).
If the color of the markers does not change from black, the brightness level is
too low and must be increased before selecting the color (See “Setting an
Overlay Brightness Level“ in “Section Two: Annotation Menu” on page 36).
From Any Controller
Activate the Change Color command from your control device.
(see “Quick Reference for Devices” in “Appendix” on page A-5)
All markers anchored from this point on will appear in the newly
selected color.
NOTE: If the pointer has been disengaged, and the Display Color
Change option in the Color Palette Menu has been activated, a small
block of color will briefly appear in the lower right of the screen to
help you identify the new marker color. The Display Color Change
block does not appear when using the digitizing tablet.
NOTE: In mouse devices, be careful to click the tip (or first) button
rather than press it. Pressing the tip (or first) button could inadvert-
ently toggle the pointer on/off or cause the menu system to appear.
