Changing contour size

You can set the size when you create a contour. This page describes changing the size after creation.

image\PRCARROW.gif To change the contour size

1. Select the contoured object (see Selecting objects). (See Notes.)

2. Choose the Contour Tool.

3. Drag any of the eight handles that surround the selected objects,

 or for more precise control, either drag the Width slider,

 or type a new value into the text box.

 As you drag, you see the outline of the contour.

Notes

image\BULLET.gif You can also use the Contour Tool to select objects - more details.

image\BULLET.gif Dragging the handles lets you swap between inside and outside contours. (Drag the handles inside or outside the objects to swap.) For the other options see Swapping between inside and outside contour. Note that lines can have only outside contours.

image\BULLET.gif If you have several contoured objects selected, any changes apply to all the contours.
