Create global objects
All of the graphic objects and groups of graphic objects on a global object display are global objects.
You create global objects on displays in the Global Objects folder the same way you create graphic objects on standard displays in the Displays folder.
Global objects can be:
- Created on a global object display using the tools in the Graphics editor.
- Copied and pasted from a standard graphic display, another global object display, or library.
- Dragged and dropped from a standard graphic display, another global object display, or library.
When you copy or drag a global object onto a standard display in the Displays folder, the copy is called a reference object. The original global object in the Global Objects folder becomes its base object.
Tip: |
- ActiveX objects cannot be created on or added to a global object display.
- You cannot convert objects on a global object display to wallpaper.
- For Group reference objects, Flip Vertical and Flip Horizontal are not available on the Arrange menu or from the toolbar.
