Add a shadow to an Auto Shape
The
Add Shadow command adds a shadow beneath the selected object based on
the dimensions of that object. The shadow is actually an Auto Shape
with control points that you can use to manipulate its appearance.
For example, you can Shift-drag the direction control point to constrain
its movement to a 45-degree angle. Clicking the direction control
point resets the shadow to the original shape. The Add Shadow command
automatically sends the new shadow shape back by one level. Unless
you apply this command to only one object at the top of the current
layer, the shadow appears above the selected object.
Select an object on the canvas.
Select Commands > Creative > Add
Shadow.
(Optional) To change the shadow, do any of the following:
Drag the direction control point to constrain its movement
on a 45-degree angle.
Click the direction control point to reset the shadow (its
size is identical to the original shape).
Control-click or Command-click the direction control point
to reset the x axis only.
Double-click the perspective control point to reset the width
of the shadow only.
