You can see how Macro objects make it easy to assemble drawings
from pre-drawn components. But the real power of a Macro object is
the fact that each placed Macro is linked to the palette. To see how
this works, replace the round-back chair in the Macros tab with a new
style of chair. When you do this, the round-back chair that we placed
in the office will change.
To replace macro objects
1
Drag the chair that is outside the office layout on top of the
round-back chair in the Document tab of the Macro palette.
2
Canvas will ask you if you want to replace the Macro. Click
Yes. Notice that the round-back chair changes to the new type of
chair in the document.
Lets add a final touch. The rug under the office furniture needs a
border. You can do this very easily by using the Offset Path com-
mand in Canvas.
Tip
You can also choose Win-
dow > Palettes > Transform.
