down the Shift key while you draw a line across the center of the oval. The line should be about three times as long as the oval is wide. Hold down the Shift key while you draw a line to ensure the line is straight. 3. Choose Edit > Copy to copy the line you just drew. 4. Choose Edit > Paste In Place to paste a copy in exactly the same position. 5. Choose Modify > Transform > Rotate 90 CCW to rotate the second line so that it is perpendicular to the first one. 6. Select the Selection tool. 7. Hold down the Shift key and select both the horizontal and vertical lines. 8. Choose Edit > Copy to copy both lines. 9. Choose Edit > Paste In Place. 10. Choose Modify > Transform > Scale And Rotate. 11. Type 45 in the Rotate box, and click OK. The second set of lines are perpendicular to the first set, creating a star. [View full size image] Breaking Objects Apart You used the object drawing mode to create the lines. Now, to remove the overlapping lines from the center of the circle, you'll convert the lines into separate line segments. 1. With the Selection tool, drag a selection around the entire star so that all four lines and the circle are selected. 2. Choose Modify > Break Apart. 3. Click a blank area on the Stage to deselect the star. 4. Select each line segment in the center of the circle and delete it.   Manipulating Objects You can combine multiple objects-whether they were drawn using object drawing mode or not-to copy, paste, reposition, and otherwise work with them more efficiently. To create multiple fizz elements, you'll group the components of the star. Disabling Snap To Guides Guides appear as you drag an object on the Stage. These guides can help you align objects quickly, and you can snap the object you're moving to a guide or to another object. For this project, however, you want to place the fizz elements randomly, so you'll deselect Snap To Guides and Snap To Objects. 1. Choose View > Snapping > Snap To Guides. 2. Choose View > Snapping > Snap To Objects. Grouping Objects To copy the star, you'll first group all the components of the star.
