Spiral Properties Right click on the Spiral Tool to open the Spiral Options window. Although the Option window does not provide any features that are not available in the Property Bar, there is a preview of the resulting spiral which could save time. Also, setting properties in the Option box creates a default style, which could save time if you have many spirals of one type to create. |
