Create and transform a duplicate shape

You'll now create and transform a duplicate oval.

1 | With the oval fill and stroke still selected on the Stage, choose Edit > Duplicate.
2 | In the Property inspector, use the Fill Color control to select black.
3 | In the toolbox, select the Free Transform tool.
| A guide with handles appears around the duplicate oval.
4 | Move the pointer over a corner handle until a diagonal indicator with arrows at both ends appears. Drag the corner handle inward to make the oval smaller. Verify that the stroke of the inside oval is not touching the stroke of the outside oval.
5 | Move your pointer above the corner handle until the pointer changes into a circular rotation indicator. Drag the rotation indicator to the left to rotate the oval to the approximate position shown in the following illustration.
