While the marker is still active, and before you begin to draw or place mark ers, you
can change the appearance of your drawing or next marker in one of several ways.
• Assign Marker Color
• Assign Line Style
• Assign Pointer Type
• Turn Pointer On/Off
Assigning Marker Colors
The color that the active marker displays is the color that the marker will be
anchored in. You can anchor markers of different colors on a single overlay.
The colors available during a presentation are based on those activated in the Color
Palette menu (see Customizing the Color Palette, on page 75).
If the color of the markers does not change from black, the brightness level is too
low and must be increased before selecting the color .
From Any Controller
Activate the Change Color command from your control device.
(see Using The Chalkboard, on page 75).
All markers anchored from this point on will appear in the newly selected color.
NOTE: If the pointer has been disengaged, and the Display Color Change
option in the Color Palette Menu has been activated, a small block of color
will briefly appear in the lower right of the screen to help you identify the new
marker color. The Display Color Change block does not appear when using
the digitizing tablet.
NOTE: In mouse devices, be careful to click the tip (or first) button rather
than press it. Pressing the tip (or first) button could inadvert ently toggle the
pointer on/off or cause the menu system to appear.
You can have drawn lines of different styles on a single overlay. Once you draw the
line, or anchor a straight line, you cannot change that line style. How ever, you can
erase or undo the drawing and begin again (see Erasing Markers, on page 75).
