Opening Tracing Tool Options

[iDiva]

I'm a very basic Freehand user trying to gain new skills.

I've been playing with the Trace Tool (Freehand MX), but can not figure out
how to open the tool's options. Could someone point me in the right direction?

Double-click on the trace tool icon.

I assume you have already read through the instructions for 'Tracing
bitmaps' in the 'Using FreeHand MX' Help files ... right ... right? :-)

All the icons in the tool bar have indications for options. The
tools such as the Trace Tool have small corner bracket in the
upper right of the icon. That means you can double click on the
icon to set options. If the icon has a triangle at the bottom,
that indicates that you can click on hold the mouse down on the
icon to get a different type of tool.

Thanks! I had searched help for Tracing Tool, but all it really told me was that it existed--not how to access it. lol
