Creating advanced objects
To create advanced objects, use the drawing tools in the Drawing
Tools toolbox or the items under the Advanced Objects sub–menu.
The basic steps are:
1. Click a drawing tool and drag it to create a box approximately the
size you want for the object.
When you release the mouse button, a dialog box opens.
2. Configure the object by entering the required information.
Most advanced objects display information about a tag. Therefore,
as part of configuration, you have to supply a tag name or tag
placeholder.
