The next time you draw a star, it will have the same settings. If you want to prac-
tice creating another star, try using the keyboard modifiers you've explored. Re-
member, do not release the mouse button until you are sure you are finished draw-
ing the star. If you do try a few more, delete them and then select the star you made
in this step before moving on. Your star doesn't have to exactly match the stars in
the figures.
