Creating odd-shaped hotspots

A hotspot need not always be a rectangle or a circle. You can also create polygon hotspots.

To create a hotspot using the Polygon Hotspot tool:

1	Choose the Polygon Hotspot tool.
2	Click the tool to plot points, as if you are drawing straight segments with the Pen tool. The fill defines the hotspot area, whether the path is open or closed.

To create a hotspot by tracing one or more selected objects:

1	Choose Insert > Hotspot.
	If you selected more than one object, a dialog box asks you whether you want to create a single rectangular hotspot covering all objects or an individual hotspot in the shape of each object.
2	Click OK. The Web Layer displays the new hotspot or hotspots.

Another way to create a polygon hotspot is to convert a circle hotspot into a polygon hotspot, and then drag the points. For more information about converting hotspots, see Editing hotspots.
