Now that you have completed this basic flowchart, we suggest that you take a minute and experiment with some of the techniques -- adding color, strokes, and other effects -- that you became familiar with in previous sections. Maintaining consistency in illustrations If you need to recreate the same graphic over and over within a docu- ment or over a series of documents, Canvas’ Macro objects feature is the perfect tool. Macro objects Macro objects are special types of graphics in Canvas that help you create illustrations quickly, uniformly, and precisely. Macro objects are especially useful for technical drawings, diagrams, and other fre- quently used illustrations. An electrical engineer can create macros for gates, resistors, and other circuit components. Project managers can build organizational charts with macros for shadowed text boxes. You can create, delete, and modify individual macro objects, and also save them as macro sets. Sets may be stored for use in special projects and loaded as you need them. Completed flowchart
