As shown in Figure 1, once the hand tool is clicked, the system responds by highlighting the tool and displaying the
name of the tool in small text under the cursor.

the EClass program or uploaded to the program, as well as any object uploaded to the EClass program.
As shown below in Figure 2, objects that can be moved are (1) & (2) text objects such as arrows
and text as well.
