Editing Clip Art
Pencil
You know that ClipArt editor that's $24.95 that you use to manipulate graphics...? Well, if you have Draw6, you don't need it. For instance, today I made a birthday card for my SIL. It had a cake with candles on it.... I wanted to add more candles....

Double click the graphic, a blue hatched square appears around the entire graphic, click a single candle, now it is highlighted, click copy, click paste..... as many times as you want. Once the candle is highlighted, you can delete it, change the effects (color), enlarge it, make it smaller, etc, etc. The same applies to the cake, the rest of the candles, etc.....

If you want, you can then save the edited graphic as another .wmf, but why bother? You can always doctor it again... you can also copy and paste it into the paint program and do texture fills, etc.... You can do this with graphics from Draw6, graphics copied and pasted from PA, graphics copied and pasted from PrintShop, .wmfs from the 10 billion graphics collections out there.
