know exactly the amount of rotation you need to apply, use the Transform palette. 7 Select the corner table and choose Effects > Transform to open the Transform palette. 8 In the Transform palette, type “90” in the text field next to the rotate icon and press Return or Enter. 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. Let’s 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. Finished office plan Original office layout
