Curtains and Borders Inserting
Curtains and Borders The Soft Goods tool creates a curved or straight stage curtain or border. To draw a curtain, either use the Soft Goods tool, or create a polyline and then select the Create Objects from Shapes command (see Creating Objects from Shapes).
To insert a curtain or border:
1. Click the Soft Goods tool from the appropriate tool set:
● Spotlight workspace: Spotlight tool set
● Designer workspace: Detailing tool set
2. Click Preferences from the Tool bar to specify or change any default Soft Goods tool parameters.
The Soft Goods Object Properties dialog box opens.
3. Select either Curtain or Border from the Function list, and specify any other default parameters for this session.
4. Click OK.
5. Click on the appropriate mode in the Tool bar to select the creation method of the soft goods object.
The Corner Vertex or Point on Arc modes are recommended. For more information on the Polyline tool modes, see Creating Polylines.
6. Click to set the soft goods object’s start point.
7. Click to set the end of the segment and the beginning of the next. Continue drawing segments in this manner until the curtain or border object is complete.
Once created, the soft goods object can be reshaped by double-clicking on it. The Reshape tool is automatically activated, to reshape the object directly in the drawing.
The curtain or border parameters can be edited in the Object Info palette. However, certain parameters are not available for borders.
Click to show/hide the parameters.
