Moving an image within its frame
Set Position tool options
When using the Position tool to move a graphic, you can hold down the mouse button for a few seconds to
display a dynamic graphics preview (a ghosted-back image) of any part of the image that is outside of the frame. You
can control the display and delay of the preview.
1 Double-click the Position tool in the toolbox.
2 From the Show Masked Portion of Image menu, select the rate at which the entire image will appear while
dragging, or select to turn it off entirely.
Applying line (stroke) settings
Set strokes
You can apply strokes, or line settings, to paths, shapes, text frames, and text outlines. The Stroke panel provides
control over the weight and appearance of the stroke, including how segments join, start and end shapes, and options
for corners. You can also select stroke settings in the Control panel when a path or frame is selected.
Applying strokes
A. Stroke applied to text frame B. Stroke applied to text outline C. Stroke applied to circle
If you frequently use the same stroke settings, you can save the settings in an object style, and quickly apply the same
settings to any object. For more information, see “About object styles” on page 177.
1 Select the path whose stroke you want to modify.
Note: When you select a path using the Selection tool , you activate a bounding box that encompasses the entire object.
If you want to see the actual path, select the path using the Direct Selection tool
instead.
2 Choose Window > Stroke to display the Stroke panel.
