Settings
The following settings are available on the context toolbar when no objects are selected:

The following settings are available on the context toolbar when multiple objects are selected:
Align Horizontal—align objects according to Left or Right edges, or by Centre.

Group—converts selected objects into a group for easier selection and modification.*
Context toolbar options update depending on the object selected. Settings may include the following:
Fill—click the colour swatch to display a pop-up panel to update fill colour.
Stroke—click the colour swatch to display a pop-up panel to update stroke colour.
Line style and brush type—click to display a pop-up panel to set the Width and line style or brush type.
Show Rotation Centre—displays a movable rotation centre about which the shape can be rotated.
Hide Selection—when selected, the object's selection box is temporarily hidden when transforming the object. If this option is off, the selection box remains visible during transformation. The selected behaviour persists across all objects unless it is manually switched.
Reset Selection Box—after reshaping, rotating, or shearing the shape, this option resets the selection box to vertical.
Convert to Curves—converts the selected object into a series of connected lines and nodes.
Ungroup—splits selected group into individual objects for focussed manipulation.*
Lock Children—when checked, any child object(s) of a selected ungrouped object cannot be altered when the selected object is transformed. Great for maintaining the size, position and aspect ratio of a clipped picture when resizing its parent object.
