Figure 3-1 Layout View’s Drawing Tools and Properties
Some tips on using the layout view:
-
Use the Navigator (explained previously) to focus on a specific area of the drawing.
-
Use the Drawing Tools to add shapes, lines, and text to the drawing. Also import graphics and zoom in or out of the drawing.
-
The Palette displays properties, such as colors and line widths, which can be changed for individual elements in the drawing. Additional panes might exist, but might not be visible when larger panes are open. For more information, see .
