Adds a new camera to the workspace. When you
add a camera to a 2D project, a dialog appears
asking if you want to convert your 2D groups to
3D groups. Although a camera can be added to a
2D project, the camera has no effect on a 2D
group. New Camera
Activates a pop-up menu of behaviors. Choosing
an item from the menu applies that behavior to
the selected object(s). Objects to which behaviors
can be applied include layers (images, particle
emitters, and so on), groups, cameras, and lights.
Generally, a subset of the controls for the behavior
appear in the HUD; all of the controls appear in
the Inspector. When the Adjust Item tool is
selected, onscreen controls (if any) become
available for the behavior. Add Behavior
Activates a pop-up menu of filters. Choosing an
item from the menu applies that filter to the
selected object. Filters can only be applied to
layers (images, text, shapes, particle emitters,
masks, replicators, generators, and so on). Filters
cannot be applied to cameras or lights. Most of
the controls for the filter appear in the HUD; all of
the controls appear in the Inspector. When the
Adjust Item tool is selected, onscreen controls (if
any) become available for the filter. Add Filter
Uses the selected layer (shape, text, image, and
so on) as the source for a particle cell. The
originally selected layer is disabled. A subset of
the controls for the particle system appear in the
HUD; all of the controls appear in the Inspector.
When the Adjust Item tool is selected, onscreen
controls become available for the particle emitter
(except when Point is selected from the emitter
Shape pop-up menu). Make Particles
Uses the selected layer (shape, text, image, and
so on) as a source cell for the replicator. The
originally selected layer is disabled. A subset of
the controls for the replicator appear in the HUD;
all of the controls appear in the Inspector. When
the Adjust Item tool is selected, the replicator
onscreen controls become available. Replicate
