FilmStrip Items

The top, or Root, entry in the FilmStrip shows the whole drawing in miniature. It represents the Group (object) that contains all the other objects in the drawing.

Below the top entry, the FilmStrip shows the sequence of objects within the drawing. The currently selected object is highlighted in the FilmStrip, and objects can be selected directly in the FilmStrip.
