Note: You cannot apply the shape to multiple existing buttons or drop zones by dragging.

To assign a shape in the Button Inspector

1

In the Menu Editor, select the button to which you want to apply the shape.

2

Click the Style tab in the Button Inspector.

3

Choose a shape group from the Shape pop-up menu, then choose the shape to use from
the submenu.

A thumbnail of the shape appears in the Button Inspector and the shape is applied to
the button.

When you create a new button by dragging a shape to the Menu Editor, the shape is
added to the menu at its actual size. This can be important if you intend your shapes to
be a specific size when used on a menu. (When shapes are applied to an existing button,
they are squeezed to fit it, which can distort it significantly.)
