Changing the color or symbol of a graphic

  1. Click the Select Elements tool Select Elements on the Draw toolbar and double-click the graphic to display its properties.
  2. Click the Symbol tab and change the desired property. The available properties vary depending on the type of graphic you've selected.
  3. Click OK.
Tip:

If you don't find the exact color you want in the array of colors on the Color Palette, you can mix your own. Click More Colors to open the Color Selector and mix colors using the sliders.

Tip:

You can use the buttons on the Draw toolbar to change the color of a polygon graphic or text element. Select the graphic and click the appropriate color button on the Draw toolbar. The color updates immediately. For example, click the arrow next to the Fill Color button to change the color of a polygon graphic.
