Summary

Designates the Field tool, which is used to create new fields.

Syntax

field

Description

Use the field keyword to create fields.

When using the Field tool, the cursor is a crosshairs. This tool is used for creating fields by clicking at one corner of the field and dragging to the opposite corner.

You can set the style (and other properties) of the templateField to the field type you want, then draw the field with the Field tool. The field icons on the Tools palette work this way: each one sets the style of the templateField, then chooses the Field tool so you can create the field.
