Tools

Provides controls for drawing and managing symbols. When you place the mouse cursor over a control in this area, a tooltip displays its function. The top six controls are for drawing, filling symbols with or selecting from symbol colors, and inserting lines, rectangles, and ellipses. The last row contains copy, paste, and clear controls. These controls provide the same type of functions as the Copy Symbol, Paste Symbol, and Remove Symbol commands in the Symbol control. The only difference is that they affect the symbol shown in the Picture area. For more information, see Symbol Commands.
