The Whiteboard Drawing Tools

To draw in the Whiteboard, simply click on the desired drawing tool. Move the mouse cursor over the work area. Start drawing the object by holding down the mouse button and release it when you have achieved the desired result

To alter the shape, use the Selection Tool and click on it. Then move it by dragging the actual shape or change its size/proportions by dragging the small "handles". You can also apply a new color or line width. Move

Hint If you want to be aided in drawing straight lines (in 45 degree increments) and true circles/squares, hold down the <shift> key while drawing.

Hint To move more than one object at the same time you must group them first.

Divider
Select the desired objects with the Selection Tool by outlining them all at once or selecting them with the CTRL key. Then use Group from the Object menu to "glue" them together. Use Ungroup to separate the different objects again. Group Objects
Divider
The order between objects can also be changed. If you have two objects and would like to move one of them behind the other do like this: Start by selecting the top one. Select The Top Object
Divider

Choose To Back on the Object menu to move the black rectangle behind the gray circle in this example:

The Result

To Back

The same applies to when moving an object to the front of another, use To Front for that.

Note that the behavior when selecting objects has changed as of version 4.0 of the Marratech client. Previously an object was moved "on top" when selection it, that is not the case any more as it keeps its order.

Hint A useful tip is to Group these two objects now so that you don't alter their order when you continue to work on the page.
