are retracted, clicking on a point with the Pen deletes the point.

You can now use the Shift key to temporarily disable certain Pen functions,
allowing greater flexibility when working with multiple paths.
The Subselect and Hand tools are now available on the Tools panel. The icons for
the Freeform, Zoom, and Line tools have changed to match those in Fireworks.
For more information on these and other tools, see "FreeHand Basics" on page 67.
Using the Brush Stroke feature, you can now create a graphic element, save it as a
symbol, then use it as a brush stroke to stretch, repeat, or stack multiple times
along the length of a path. Using this feature reduces file size and eliminates
excessive redraw time. For more information on the Brush Stroke feature, see
"Using brush strokes" on page 279.
Formerly known as the Symbols panel, the Library panel now stores symbols and
master pages. For more information on the Library panel, see "Using the Library
panel" on page 246.
When you edit a symbol, FreeHand updates all instances of that symbol within
your document. This functionality is particularly useful for graphics that need to
be updated often. For more information on editing symbols, see "Editing
symbols" on page 249.
New features in FreeHand 10 allow you to assign Flash actions to FreeHand

document as a SWF file. For more information, see "Assigning Flash actions" on
page 380 and "Using the Controller or Control menu with SWF files" on page
