Working with Objects

119

Copying objects between applications

You can copy objects between a FreeHand document and a document in another application by
copying and pasting with the Clipboard or, in some cases, by dragging.

When you copy to or paste from the Clipboard, FreeHand normally chooses the best format from
the available ones you set in preferences. Using the Copy Special command, you can force
FreeHand to convert the selection on the Clipboard to a specific file format.

You can copy objects by dragging them between FreeHand and other applications that support
the Apple Drag Manager (Macintosh) or OLE Drag and Drop (Windows). Some of these
applications include Netscape Navigator (Macintosh), Macromedia Fireworks, Photoshop, and
Illustrator. See your operating system instructions for the correct dragging procedure.

To copy from FreeHand and paste into another application:

1

In FreeHand, select the object.

2

Do one of the following:

•

Select Edit > Copy to copy the selection according to the Clipboard Copy Formats preferences.

•

Select Edit > Special > Copy Special and select a format in the Copy Special dialog box.

3

Make active the application into which you’ll paste the selection. Select Edit > Paste or the
equivalent command for that application.

To copy from another application and paste into FreeHand:

1

In the application you want to copy from, select an object and then select Edit > Copy or the
equivalent command for that application.

2

Make the FreeHand document active.

3

Do one of the following:

•

Select Edit > Paste to paste the selection according to the Clipboard Paste Formats preferences.

•

Select Edit > Special > Paste Special and select a format in the Paste Special dialog box.

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.
