Using Inks Managers Open the Inks Managers when you want to create inks or change the preset inks on the tabs in the Inks palette. A    Click to flip the Inks manag- ers open or closed. B    This box shows a preview of the current ink. The preview changes as you modify the ink. Click the Apply button for Can- vas to use this ink. You can also drag the ink from the preview box to objects and into the grid of preset inks. To edit an object’s ink: Click the pen (C) or fill icon (D), then select an object; its ink becomes the current ink in the manager. Modify the ink. Click Apply to apply the modified ink to the object. To make a new ink: Use the manager to customize the current ink. To name it, type in the text box (E). Then do any of the following: • To add the ink to the palette, drag from the preview box (B) to the grid of preset inks. • To make the ink the current ink, click the pen (C) or fill (D) icon, then click Apply when no objects are selected. • To apply the ink to a non- selected object, drag from the preview box (B) to the inside or outline of the object. When you create a new ink, be sure to add it to the palette or drag it to an object before selecting anything. Otherwise, the selection’s ink replaces the new ink in the manager. A pop-up menu (F) contains commands that let you save inks and load inks on the cur- rent tab. You can also clear the current tab’s inks to start with an empty palette.
