Working with a selected part
To manipulate the part (to move, resize, or delete it), you first need to select the part. Selecting a part is different from making a part active.
1 To select a part, click the gray border of an active part.
This tool palette is for the Apple Draw, the container part.
When you move the pointer onto the gray border, a hand appears. Click when you see the hand.
Black “handles” appear at the corners of the graphic to indicate that the part is selected. Notice that the Image menu is no longer available.
The menus for the container part appear.
When a part is selected, black handles appear.
You can also select a part by holding down the Command (x) key on your keyboard while clicking anywhere in the part.
2Move the selected part by dragging it.
Make sure your graphic is selected. (There should be black handles at the corners.) Then look at the menus to see which commands are available. The container part’s menus are available when a part is selected.
3Try the “Move to Back” and “Move to Front” commands in the Item menu.
4Explore the Part Info command in the Edit menu.
Part Info gives you information about each part.
