Graphics preferences affect the way you work with drawn objects and painted images.

Note: Each Graphics preference can be specified differently for different documents.

	Option		Function
	Polygon Closing		Controls the way you draw or paint with the irregular polygon tool. When you select Manual, double-clicking after creating the last side of a polygon leaves the polygon open. When you select Automatic, double-clicking adds a line between the point where you double-clicked and the starting point of the polygon.
	Object Selection		Determines the number of handles that appear when you select an object in a drawing document.
	Automatically Smooth Freehand		Smoothes curved or jagged lines you draw with the freehand tool when you release the mouse button.
	Mouse Shift Constraint		Sets the angle to which lines are constrained when you draw lines while holding down the Shift key.
