Resizing objects
A selected object is marked by small squares called handles. Lines have three
handles one at each end and one at the center. Labels and Values have one
handle. The Label handle is located on the upper border of the label, on the left,
center or right, depending upon the label’s text alignment.
A Value’s handle is always located on the left. Arc handles include the arc start
and end points, as well as handles at the corners and sides of the rectangle
bordering the original ellipse drawn to create the arc. All other objects are marked
with handles at the corners and sides of the object’s bordering rectangle.
The geometric shapes can be sized by grabbing these handles. When resizing
symbols, the symbols remain in proportion.
Managing files
This section explains how to manage graphic and symbol files. Managing files
includes deleting, saving and generating files.
Saving files
The Save As command saves a file for the first time. This option is also used to
save the opened file under a different name. The Save command saves changes
to an existing file. Save As is particularly useful when you have created a complex
display that you want to use again with minor modifications.
Purging files
The Purge option enables you to delete unwanted symbols and graphic files from
your system. When you purge a file, the Symbol and Condition Indexes are
updated accordingly.
Note! You should not delete
graphic or symbol files from the
project folder using Windows
Explorer. Doing so will remove the
File but the symbol and condition
indexes will not reflect the deletion.
Instead, use the Purge option
Merging files
Draw allows you to merge previously created files with the file in which you are
currently working.

Graphic File dialog box appears
