User's
Handbook
Show Page allows a repositioning
of
the drawing surface.
First, place the arrow within
that
area. Now, drag the drawing
surface
around
the page. The drawing surface box moves with
the
arrow
within the boundaries
of
the page. A change will not
be made until
OK
is
selected. Select Cancel
to
redisplay the
drawing surface in its original position. Practice by moving the
drawing surface so
that
the picture is centered within it.
The
operator
can
also move images
about
the page within
the
Show Page window using the pointer. Position the arrow
on the page
but
outside
of
the drawing surface. Now, drag the
example drawing around the page. Notice
that
the image will
move partially
or
completely off the page. The lost portions
of
the image can be retrieved by pulling them back
onto
the page.
However, if
OK
is
selected,
any
portions
of
the document not
appearing on the page will
be
permanently erased. This appli-
cation
of
Show Page
is
useful when erasing a large section
of
the page.
The
Show Page window appears in figure 6.24 with a
portion
of
the original drawing slid off the page. Move the
image
to
a position below the drawing surface rectangle, and
select
OK. The drawing surface now displays a blank portion
of
the page.
The next option under the Goodies menu is Edit
Pattern.
This option
is
used to custom design a pattern for use in
drawing. Selecting this option will reveal a window containing
two boxes such as the one shown in figure 6.25.
To alter the pattern, use the arrow
to
click in
and
click out
the blocks in the left-hand box. The
box
on the right will show
the effect
of
the change. Select OK to set the change and Cancel
to negate it.
