Search selection on clicks    When this option is on, you can drag a selected object from behind another object. If this option is off, you can drag only the front object, because dragging deselects a back object. Canvas 6-style object locking    When you lock an object or group of objects, you can select and copy locked object(s) by clicking on the object or group of objects. Copied objects will not be locked. Show information tooltips    Displays information, tips and short- cuts in small boxes that appear when you point at an item, such as a tool, button, or object. For example, if you move the pointer over the Copy button in the Tool Bar, Canvas displays the command name and shortcut. Canvas also displays user comments when you point to an object that has comments, and displays information when you point to an ink in the Inks palette. For color inks, Canvas displays color system information. For example, if you point to a CMYK ink, the color values such as “5c 2m 92y 0k” appear in a pop-up box. For other inks, Canvas displays the ink name. Scale Stroke Weight    When you scale an object by dragging its selection handles, if the object has a solid pen stroke, Canvas will scale the pen weight proportionately with the object. AutoSave    select this checkbox if you want Canvas to automatically save a document after a certain period of time. The time periods are designated in minutes. Drawing preferences The Drawing tab lets you select a coordinate system for angular mea- surements and specify behavior for moving and copying objects. Coordinate System     Choose the Standard or Engineering system for angular measurements. When dragging and resizing always show originals    When you drag or resize an object, it will follow the pointer and also appear in its original position until you release the mouse button. Windows:  Selecting this option means that when you drag an object, an outline of the object (without pen ink, fill ink, or stroke) will follow the pointer.
