To draw a symmetric shape
Edit workspace
1 On the Tools toolbar, select the Symmetric Shape tool
.
Note: If you want to place the symmetric shape on the current
vector layer, mark the Create on Vector check box on the Tool
Options palette. If no vector layer exists, marking this check box
creates one for the symmetric shape. If this check box is
unmarked, the symmetric shape is placed on a raster layer. Placing
a symmetric shape on a vector layer makes it easier to edit.
2 On the Materials palette, click the Background and Fill properties
box, and choose a fill color.
3 Click the Foreground and Stroke properties box, and choose an
outline color.
