Standard options for most tools include Copy, Delete, Format and Hide.
Single Left-Click
If you single-click the left mouse button on a Drawing Tool, this will "select" the tool, and you will see the "control points" highlighted on the tool. While in this mode:
- Re-size – you can click and drag the control points, to re-size the tool, if applicable
- Move – if you hover the mouse over any part of the Drawing Tool, but NOT on a control point, you will see the four-way arrow cursor, allowing you to click and drag the entire Drawing Tool to a new location
- Delete – you can delete the selected tool by pressing Delete on the keyboard
Double Left-Click
If you double-click the left mouse button on a Drawing Tool, you will see the Format Tool dialog, which allows you to customize line thickness, style, colour and other attributes. Only the options applicable to the clicked-on tool will be available in the Format Tool dialog.
