Re-sizing an Object
In the edit area, highlight an object whose size you wish to change (a red
setting out frame occurs), and then touch the button – the setting-out
frame changes color to violet.
You can change the size of an object in two ways:
By touching the screen below and on the right of the fixed, top left-hand
corner of the object. The indicated point defines the position of the bottom
right-hand corner.
By means of the and buttons (to shift the top edge of the
object), the and buttons (to shift the bottom edge of the
object), the and (to shift the left-hand edge of the object) as
well as the and buttons (to shift the right-hand edge of the
object).
The object is magnified provided that the project area is greater than the object
whose size is changed.
Touch the button in order to confirm the change in size or the
button in order to abandon the change.
NOTE! The Normal text, Counter and Date/Time objects can be resized only
when the Scaling parameter is different then Fit frame to content; otherwise
the size of the object does not change. The size of a text can be changed with
the Font Size parameter (for True Type fonts) or by changing the type of font
(for EBS built-in fonts).
Common Parameters of Objects
The following object parameters are available in the Geometry sheet tab:
Object name. The type of object is used as the object name, as standard
(e.g. Counter 1, Image 2). You can name objects at your choice to facilitate
identification, but the same names must not be used, i.e. they must be
unique within one project. If you use a name that has already been used
within the project, an error is reported when you try to save the parameters
of the object named so.
The Position parameter shows the coordinates of the top left-hand corner
of the object frame. You can modify the coordinates and thereby change
the position of an object. Place the cursor in the Position field and modify
the coordinates in the window displayed. The first coordinate determines
the location in the horizontal direction (Object position x), the second one
determines the location in the vertical direction (Object position y). An
object can also be repositioned in the edit area – see Repositioning an
Object (p. 47).
