different ways to deal with the ortho tab.

if you're like me, most of the time, you have the ortho tab checked. however, when dealing with notes and leaders, when one needs to switch between keeping items in line, and placing the arrows where ever you want, ortho can be a pain. one way to deal with this without clicking the ortho tab button on the screen, is to hit F8 on your keyboard. the problem with F8, is that is switches it completely.

so if you want ortho off for just one specific command, continue with the command as normal, such as copy or move, but with ortho restricts you, simply hold down the "shift" key. this will keep ortho, shut off, while you complete your command. Letting go of "shift" will restore ortho.
