To add the shape to any empty part of the menu, drag it to the Menu Editor. If you hover
over the area for a second, the Drop Palette appears, where you can choose to create a
button or drop zone. See
Adding Drop Zones to Your Menu
for additional information
about drop zones.

To apply the shape to an existing button, select the button in the Menu Editor, then do
one of the following:
• Click Apply in the Palette.
• Drag the shape to the button.
When dragged to an empty part of the menu, the shape becomes a button and appears
at its actual size. You can move it and change its size by either dragging it or entering
coordinate and size values in the Advanced tab in the Button Property Inspector.
When applying or dragging the shape to an existing button, the shape’s size changes to
match the existing button’s size.
