Mode

Modifies the shape, orientation or fill of the selected object(s).

In 3D Rotation Object

Converts the selected 2D object(s) to a 3D object, by rotating the object(s) around a symmetry line.

Drag the symmetry line to a new location to change the shape of the converted object. To change the orientation of the symmetry line, drag one of its end points. Click the object to convert it to 3D.

Icon In 3D Rotation Object

Set in circle (perspective)

Distorts the selected object by wrapping it around imaginary circles, and then adding perspective. Drag a handle of the selected object to distort it. If the selected object is not a polygon or Bézier curve, you are prompted to change the object to a curve before you can distort it.

Transparency

Applies a transparency gradient to the selected object. The transparency line represents a grayscale, with the black handle corresponding to 0% transparency and the white handle to 100% transparency.

Drag the white handle to change the direction of the transparency gradient. Drag the black handle to change the length of the gradient. You can also drag and drop colors onto the handles from the Color Palette to change their grayscale values.

Gradient

Modifies the gradient fill of the selected object. This command is only available if you applied a gradient to the selected object in Layout - Properties - Area. Drag the handles of the gradient line to change the direction of the gradient or the length of the gradient. You can also drag and drop colors onto the handles from the Color Palette to change the color of the gradient endpoints.
