Locking and Unlocking Objects
You can lock objects to avoid inadvertently moving them as you work.
After you lock individual or grouped objects, you can’t move, delete, or modify them
until you unlock them. A locked object can be selected, copied, or duplicated; when
you copy or duplicate a locked object, the new object is also locked.
To lock objects:
1 Hold down the Command (or Shift) key as you select the objects you want to lock.
2 Choose Arrange > Lock.
To unlock an object, select the object, and then choose Arrange > Unlock.
Filling Objects
Fill an object with a solid color, a color gradient, or an image.
Filling an Object with Color
Use the Graphic Inspector to fill an object with a solid color or a color gradient, in
which two colors gradually blend with each other.
To change an object’s fill color:
1 Select the object.
2 Click Inspector in the toolbar, and then click the Graphic Inspector button.
3 To apply a solid fill color, choose Color Fill from the Fill pop-up menu. Click the color
well below the Fill pop-up menu to open the Colors window, and then select a color in
the Colors window.
4 To fill an object with a color gradient, choose Gradient Fill from the Fill pop-up menu.
Click each color well and choose each color in the Colors window.
To set a direction for the gradient, use the Angle wheel or field. To flip it horizontally or
vertically, click the Angle arrow buttons.
To invert the gradient, click the double-headed arrow next to the color wells.
Instructions for using the Colors Window follow.
Click each color well
