4 . Chose Windows > Toolbars, and then one by
one uncheck the Main, Text, Toolbox, Status,
and Info toolbars so all are turned off. Now
use the same menu command to turn them
back on one by one so you can see which is
which. For now we will ignore the customize
option (which allows you to configure your
tools set to match those in other graphics
applications), as well as the inspectors,
panels, and xtras.
5 . Click and drag on the toolbars to see how you
can move and arrange them on the page.
6 . Choose the Pointer tool at the top of the
Toolbox. Experiment with selecting different
objects on the page. Click once to select a
single object. Click and drag a selection area to
select all the objects inside a dotted line
rectangle. Choose Edit > Undo to reverse
your changes.
Using Page Rulers and Guides
The light-blue lines you see on the document are Guides. These non-printing lines help you align objects
properly on the page. You can use as many guides as you like. To create a new guide, drag it out from
one of the page rulers. To delete a guide, drag it off of the page.
1 . Choose View > PageRulers to display two rulers, one at the top and one at the left of the document.
2 . Click the U n i t s pop-up on the status toolbar (Figure 1-4) which is normally found at the bottom of
the document window, and choose Inches. Notice that the page rulers change to reflect the
chosen units.
3 . Now choose P o i n t s from the Units pop-up. Points, which are traditional typographic units, are
roughly equivalent in size to pixels, which are the tiny dots that make up displayed bitmap images
and are the common units of measurement for Web pages.
4 . Use the mouse to click on a ruler, and drag to create and place a guide.
5 . Choose View > Guides > Show to display or hide all the guides in your document.
6 . Choose View > Snap to Guides to turn snapping to guides on or off. With snapping turned on,
FreeHand automatically aligns objects to guides when they are placed nearby.
We will be using guides in upcoming exercises.
Figure 1-4
The Status Bar at the bottom of the page has controls for changing magnification and navigating through a
multi-page document, and pop-up menus for changing the drawing mode and units measurements.
Changing the View
Throughout the design process you’ll need to change your magnification levels and adjust the position of
the page to focus in on specific areas and still maintain perspective. The Magnification tool allows you to
zoom in close to an object you’re editing allowing much more precise modification than could be
achieved at a lower magnification level. FreeHand also provides an easy way to reposition the page to
focus on a particular object or section of the page.
