| The Info Window
The eleven panes of the Info window allow you to manipulate attributes of graphics in your document, rearrange graphics, and change document settings. At the top is a configurable toolbar which lets you switch between panes.
To show the Info window, choose Show Info (⇧⌘I) from the Tools menu, click the Info button on a document window's toolbar, or choose a specific pane from the Tools ▶ Info Panes submenu.
Info Window Toolbar Items:
Info | This popup menu lets you quicky switch between Info panes.
All | Click the All button to show icons of all eleven Info panes. Click one of the icons to switch to that pane, or drag it up to the toolbar to provide quicker access.
Clone | This button performs the same function as the New Info Viewer command in the Tools menu — it creates an additional Info window on your screen.
You can customize the toolbar of each Info window separately, so it's possible to configure your workspace such that your most frequently used panes are readily available. To add an info Pane to the toolbar, drag its icon from the All view to the toolbar. To rearrange items already on the toolbar, hold the Command key and drag them around (drag them off the toolbar to remove them). For further customization options, control-click on the toolbar and choose Customize Toolbar... from the menu. Info Panes:
