At this point, you have learned to work with layers and frames. You have used a few drawing tools.
In this section we explore some additional features and settings for these tools.
The selection tool
is the most often used tool. We will always go back to the selection tool after finishing any other tool. The hot key is V.
We can also select a drawing using the lasso
tool.
We can navigate around the stage with the scroll bars, but also with the hand
tool.
We can create strokes with the pencil
, pen
, and line
tools.
We can create fills with the brush
tool.
We can create basic shapes with the rectangle
, oval
, and polystar
tools.
The Rectangle Primitive Tool
and Oval Primitive Tool
are exactly the same as the rectangle and oval tools except that the drawing is grouped.
We can modify a drawing with the selection
, the subselection
, the free transform
and the eraser
tools.
