Name Gallery overview

CTRL+Shift+F9

The Name Gallery gives you information about the current document. It lists:

Named objects in the document - you can name objects using either the Name gallery or the Selector Tool

Fonts used in the document - the Text Tool and Font Gallery control using fonts

Bitmaps used in the document - note that these are bitmaps currently used in the document. The Bitmap Gallery lists both currently used and deleted bitmaps.

Named Colors used in the document - note that only Named Colors are listed, not Local Colors.

Against each item (name, font, bitmap, or color) you can see if the item is used in the current selection. See below for more details.

Using the Name gallery

You can use the Name Gallery in several ways:

to check which items (fonts etc.) are used in the document

to check which items are used in the selected objects

to select the objects that use particular items. (For example to select all objects that use a particular Named Color.)

to name objects for easy reference later

Many operations using the Name Gallery are more easily accessible using the Name Gallery pop-up menu.
