Chapter 4:  Using the Whiteboard Pod

Selection Tool

  Selects a shape or area of the whiteboard. Click on a shape to select it. Click 

and drag on the canvas to create a selection rectangle that selects all the shapes within the 
rectangle. The selection rectangle will have eight control points to resize the shape or shapes 
selected. Holding down Shift while dragging a corner control point will force resizing to 
maintain the aspect ratio. Dragging selected shapes will move them. To add a shape to the 
selection, press Shift-click on the shape.

Pencil Tool

  Creates an array of shapes connected by lines. Stroke color and stroke weight can 

be customized by using the color picker and stroke weight pop-up menu at the bottom of the 
Whiteboard pod.

Marker Tool

  Creates an array of shapes connected by lines with a diagonal line stroke. Stroke 

color and stroke weight can be customized by using the color picker and stroke weight pop-up 
menu at the bottom of the Whiteboard pod.

Line Tool

  Draws a line between two points. Stroke color and stroke weight can be 

customized by using the color picker and line width pop-up menu at the bottom of the 
Whiteboard pod. Arrows can be created by using the arrow buttons at the bottom of the 
Whiteboard pod. Holding down the Shift key while drawing will make the line snap every 45 
degrees.

Rectangle Tool

  Creates square and rectangle shapes. Stroke color, fill color, and stroke 

weight can be customized by using the color picker and the stroke weight pop-up menu. No 
fill can be used as a setting for stroke color and fill color; however, you cannot use no fill for 
both stroke color and fill color. Click and drag to expand the shape. Holding down the Shift 
key while drawing will force the rectangle into a square shape.

Ellipse Tool

  Creates circle and ellipse shapes. Stroke color, fill color, and stroke color can be 

customized by using the color picker and stroke weight pop-up menu. No fill can be used as a 
setting for stroke color and fill color; however, you cannot use no fill for both stroke color and 
fill color. Click and drag to expand the shape. Holding down the Shift key while drawing will 
force the ellipse into a circle shape.

Text Tool

  Creates a floating multiline text character. Fill color, font face (_sans, _serif, 

_typewriter, Arial, Courier New, Times New Roman, and Verdana) and font size (7 point 
through 31 point) can be customized by using the color picker, font pop-up menu, and font 
size pop-up menu. Click and drag to create a text area to type in.

Stamper Tool

  Leaves a check mark, right facing arrow, star, or carat image on the screen. A 

check mark is the default stamp. You can change the stamp image by clicking the arrow, star, 
and carat buttons. Image color and shape size can be customized by using the color picker and 
size pop-up menu.

Undo

  Performs an undo of the previous action. You can undo the following actions: drawing 

a shape, moving a shape, resizing a shape, clearing the whiteboard, and changing a property of 
a shape. There is no limit to the number of times that you can perform this operation in the 
pod.
