Dragging and Dropping

Drag-and-drop is also possible in many cases. The exact way drag-and-drop works is determined by the operating system in use and the source of the graphic, regardless of whether the graphic is embedded or linked. The behavior can be controlled by pressing the  Control  or  Control  +  ⇧ Shift  keys together.

Draw objects and images that are used frequently can be stored in the Gallery. Objects can be dragged from the Gallery to the Draw surface quite simply. Working with the Gallery is dealt with in Chapter 10 (Advanced Draw Techniques).
