using the object panel
The Object panel is a context-sensitive panel that lets
you view and change properties for selected objects
and text. Each kind of object has different properties.
The Object panel is part of the Properties panel group,
which is open in FreeHand by default. To show or hide
the Object panel, select Window > Object.
The top portion of the Object panel displays the
Properties list, a hierarchical list that contains the
properties applied to a selected object. The attributes
of a selected property appear on the bottom half of
the Object panel. The contents of the attributes
section change depending on the property selected in
the Properties list.
2
using the object panel
Above the Properties list are buttons that allow you to
add and delete properties such as fills, strokes, and
effects. You can add more than one fill, stroke, and
effect to an object. By dragging properties in the list,
you can rearrange the order in which properties are
applied to a selected object.
Most changes you make to an object’s attributes are
immediately applied in the Document window. For
some attributes, however, changes are not applied
until you click outside the attribute-editing boxes, or
press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh).
When no items are selected in the Document window,
the Object panel displays the default attributes for
new objects that you create.

grouping objects
Grouping two or more objects constrains their
positions and stacking order relative to one another,
so you can manipulate them as a single object.
Grouping objects on different layers moves these
objects to the current drawing layer but retains their
relative stacking order.
You can ungroup objects to edit them individually.
When ungrouping objects, you can return them to
their original layers.
Objects within a group retain their original stroke and
fill attributes. You can modify these attributes by
subselecting objects within the group and making
changes in the Object panel.

grouping objects
To group selected objects:
Select Modify > Group.
To ungroup a selected group:
Select Modify > Ungroup.
To automatically return objects to their original
layers when ungrouping:
1 Display general preferences by doing one of the
following:
• In Windows, press Control+U, then click the
General tab.
• On the Macintosh, press Command+U, then click
the General category.
2 Select Remember Layer Info and click OK.

arranging objects
You can change the stacking order of objects by using
the Arrange commands or by cutting and pasting.
To change the stacking order of objects:

Using the Pointer tool, select the object to
rearrange.
Select Modify > Arrange and select from the
following commands:
Move Forward moves an object forward in a
stack. Bring to Front moves an object to the top
of a stack. Move Backward moves an object

front of or behind which you’ll paste the selection.
Do one of the following:
Select Edit > Special > Paste in Front to paste
the cut/copied object in front of the selected

combining paths
You can create new paths by joining or combining
paths. Some of these operations produce composite
paths, which consist of individual paths joined
together that act as one path.
When you combine paths using the Join command,
the selected paths are simply joined as a single
composite path. When you combine paths using the
Union, Divide, Intersect, Punch, or Crop command,
the result might be a composite path or a single path
depending on the position of the originals and the
path operation you use.

combining paths
To set retention options for original paths:
1 Display object preferences by doing one of the
following:
• In Windows, press Control+U, then click the Object
tab.
• On the Macintosh, press Command+U, then click
the Object category.
2 Do one of the following:
• Select Path Operations Consume Original Paths to
delete the original paths when a path operation is
applied.
• Deselect this option to keep the original paths.
9
combining paths
To create a composite path by joining:
1
Select two or more paths.If the two paths are
open, their distance and preferences control
whether they are joined.
2
Select Modify > Join.
To adjust the transparent sections of a composite
path:
1
Select a composite path.
2
Select Window > Object to display the Object
panel if it’s not already displayed.
3
Do one of the following:
•
Select Even/Odd Fill to make overlapping
subpaths of a composite path alternate between
filled and transparent.
•
Deselect Even/Odd Fill to make overlapping
subpaths filled or transparent based on their
path direction.

combining paths
4 If the composite path’s overlapping fill does not
appear as expected, select a subpath and do one of
the following:
• Select Modify > Alter Path > Correct Direction.
• Select Modify > Alter Path > Reverse Direction.
• Select Window > Toolbars > Xtra Operations to
display the Xtra Operations toolbar if it’s
not already displayed, and click either the Correct
Direction button or the Reverse Direction button.

expanding a path
To expand the stroke of a selected path using
menu commands or Xtras:
1
Do one of the following:
•
Select Modify > Alter Path > Expand Stroke.
•
Select Windows > Toolbars > Xtra Operations to
display the Xtra Operations toolbar if it’s not
already
displayed, and click the Expand Stroke button.
•
Select Xtras > Path Operations > Expand Stroke.

In the Expand Stroke dialog box, enter a value in
the Width text box or adjust the width using the
slider.

transforming objects
You can transform objects or points by rotating,
scaling, skewing, reflecting, and moving them. You
can make transformations using the transformation
tools, the Transform panel, or an object’s transform
handles.
Using the transformation tools
The transformation tool pop-up menu in the Tools
panel consists of the following:
•The
•The
•The
•The
Scale tool enlarges or reduces objects.
Rotate tool applies two-dimensional rotations.
Reflect tool flips an object.
Skew tool slants an object along a specified axis.

increments relative to the current constrain angle
(File > Document Settings > Constrain).
