Drawing modes
Illustrator CS5 provides the following drawing modes:
Draw Normal ( )
Draw Behind ( )
Draw Inside ( )
A dotted open rectangle like the one shown in the illustration C, is displayed when an object with Draw Inside mode is active.
The Draw Normal mode is the default drawing mode. You can select drawing modes from the Tools panel, below the Color Selector tool.
Drawing Modes panel
To switch through drawing modes, click the Drawing Modes panel in the Tools panel and select the drawing mode. You can also use the Shift+D
keyboard shortcut to cycle through the drawing modes.
Note: The options, Paste, Paste in Place, and Paste on All Artboardshonor the drawing modes. However, Paste in Front and Paste in Back
commands are not affected by the drawing modes.
For a video on using the different drawing modes, see www.adobe.com/go/lrvid5209_ai_en.
Draw Behind mode
The Draw Behind mode allows you to draw behind all artwork on a selected layer if no artwork is selected. If an artwork is selected, the new object
is drawn directly beneath the selected object.
The draw behind mode is honored in the following cases:
Creating new layers
Placing symbols
Placing files from the File menu
Using Alt+Drag to duplicate objects
Using Paste in Place and Paste on All Artboards options
Draw Inside mode
The Draw Inside mode allows you to draw inside the selected object. The Draw Inside mode eliminates the need to perform multiple tasks such as
drawing and altering stacking order or drawing, selecting, and creating a clipping mask.
The draw inside mode is enabled only when there is a single selected object (path, compound path, or text).
To create clipping masks using the Draw Inside mode, select the path within which you want to draw and switch to the Draw Inside mode.
Subsequent paths are clipped by the path that was selected when you switch to the Draw Inside mode, until you switch to the Draw Normal mode
(Shift+D or double-click).
Note: The clipping masks created using Draw Inside retain the appearance on the clipping path unlike the menu command Object > Clipping
Mask > Make.
