The H-Factor

In our last episode I told you how to make your own tool palettes. Here’s how you can do more with them.

You can control a number of things about how your block gets inserted from a tool palette. Right click on your block and pick Properties. This will give you the properties you can control. Scale, Rotation and Prompt for Rotation are found in the Insert section. In the General section you will find options like Color, Layer and Linetype to set specific for those (otherwise they adopt the current layer and color settings).

Create as many palettes as you like. Next I’ll show you how to group them and Export them to some one else’s machine
