If you want to add PPT, you just neet to find the location of PPT from the computer, and add it to the Shortcut Box in accordance with the above steps. You may open it by clicking the content in the Shortcut Box. 49 Figure 2-77: Dialog Box Figure 2-78: Dialog Box of Edit after Adding Contents Basic operation of objects in software Select In software operation, if you want to operate on any object, you should select that object at first. The way to select an object is to click the Select button in the Floating Toolbar and across over the object needed when the state of mouse becomes a cross. When four functional buttons appear at the four corners of the selected object, it means the object has been selected. For example, a triangle is selected in Figure 2-79when four functional buttons show up around the triangle. Figure 2-79: Select A Triangle In Figure 2-79, the upper left button is Move Button, the upper right button is Rotate Button, and the lower right button is Zoom button. When you click the lower left Edit 50 Button , the “Edit” menu is popped up (see Figure 2-80), . Figure 2-80: Edit Menu Move When you select the object and click the Move Button , you may drag the current object to any location of the slide. Zoom When you select the object and click the Zoom Button , you may zoom the current object by dragging. Take the tube as an example, the graphs before and after zoom are shown in Figure 2-81 and Figure 2-82separately. Figure 2--81 Object before Zoom 51 Figure 2--82 Object after Zoom Rotat e When you select the object and click the Rotate Button , you may rotate the current object by dragging. Take a triangle as an example, the graphs before and after rotation are shown in Figure 2-83and Figure 2-84separately. Figure 2-83: Object before Rotation Figure 2-84: Object after Rotation Group You may combine multiple objects in the slide as a whole. For example, when you select several objects at the same time as shown in Figure 2-85, click the edit button , and choose the option of “Group” in the drop-down menu shown in Figure 2-86, these grouped objects can be regarded as a complete object to be operated. If you want to restore to the status of being uncombined, please click the option of “Cancel Group”. 52 Figure 2-85: Select Several Objects at The Same Time Figure 2-86: Groupf Objects. Lock You may lock the current object to avoid it being moved to any other places. The way to lock an object is to click the current selected object and choose “Lock” in the drop-down menu of Edit Button (see Figure 2-87). Figure 2-87: Lock an Object The locked object cannot be moved any more. If you want to restore to the unlocked state, please choose the option of “Unlock”. 53 Set Visiblity You can set the visibility of any object. After select the object, choose “Set Visibility” in the drop-down menu of “Edit” button (Figure 2-88). Figure 2-88 Set Visibility to an Object When the current setting is “Display”, the current object is visible; on the contrary, when the current setting is “Hide”, the current object is invisible. Clone You may clone the object in the slide. There are two means: clone and dragging clone. The detailed operation means are: 1. Clone: After you select the object, please choose the option of “Clone” in the drop-down menu of “Edit” button (see Figure 2-89 and Figure 2-90). After you choose the option of “Clone”, the cloned object is generated at the location of current object. You may operate on the cloned object. Figure 2-89: Object before Being Cloned Figure 2-90: Object after Being Cloned 54 2. Dragging Clone: There are two ways to make dragging clone. One is to choose the option of “Dragging Clone” in the drop-down menu of “Edit” button (see Figure 2-91). The other one is choose “Dragging Clone” in the Property Browser after you select the object to be cloned.After you choose the option of “Dragging Clone”, please click the Move button and drag the original object on the slide. Then the cloned object is generated at the location of current object (see Figure 2-92). Unlimited dragging clone can be made on the original object. You may end current operation by canceling the dragging clone. Figure 2-91: Dragging Clone of Current Object Figure 2-92: Dragging Clone of Original Object Reverse You may turn over the current object by choosing the option of “Turnover” in the drop-down menu of “Edit” button. The software provides two ways of turnover: turn upside down (see Figure 2-93 and Figure 2-94) and turn around (see Figure 2-95 and Figure 2-96). 55 Figure 2-93: Set Current Object to be Turned Upside Down Figure 2-94: Current Object After Turned Upside Down Figure 2-95: Set Current Object to be Turned Around Figure 2--96: Object after Turned Around Mirror You may use the function of mirror to generate the upwards, downwards, leftwards or rightwards mirror image of current object. The operation of leftwards mirror image is shown in Figure 2-97and the result is shown in Figure 2-98. Similarily, the rightwards, upwards and downwards mirror images are shown in Figure 2-99, Figure 2-100 and Figure 2-101separately. 56 Figure 2-97: Set Leftwards Mirror Image of Current Object Figure 2-98: Leftwards Mirror Image of Current Object Figure 2-99: Rightwards Mirror Image of Current Object Figure 2-100: Upwards Mirror Image of Current Object Figure 2-101: Downwards Mirror Image of Current Object Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete You may choose the options of cut, copy, paste or delete current object in the drop-down menu of “Edit” button. You may make above operation separately on current object (see Figure 2-102).
