Leading adjusts the amount of vertical space between text lines. Multi-select the lines you wish
to adjust using CTRL + click (or by dragging a rectangle around them in the preview window), and
raise or lower the Leading value to suit your need.

ORIENTATION

Rotate changes the orientation of text and drawing
objects. Hold During Motion, when enabled,
ensures that the selected object does not move as
an element within Scroll or Crawl pages. Do Not
Render
prevents the image from being displayed as
part of the page when displayed or rendered.

ARC/LINE

The Joint menu options affect way corners of a
drawn CG object are created – choose from Round,
Bevel, or Square. Similarly, the End menu selection
determines whether the ends of a line object
terminate in a Square, Round, or Point.

Arc Start and End values permit great precision for Arc and Filled Arc objects, and the Thickness
value is pretty much self-explanatory.

EDGE

Edge refers to a two-tone border that conforms to character or object shape. The way corners
are painted is controlled by the drop-down menu – options are Round, Square, or Bevel.

The two boxes to the right of the menu are where you choose the colors for the inside and
outside edges of the border applied around your objects. Inside color is the box on the left,
outside color is on the right.

Click in the box to bring up the Color Picker panel, or right-click it to activate the Eyedropper tool
to choose a color from the Canvas.
