Alignment
MediaFACE® 4.01 provides several features that can be used when manipulating and
aligning multiple fields on a label. Each of these features is discussed below.
Multiple selection/Grouping
Multiple selection or grouping of fields is one option offered in the Advanced Interface.
Selecting multiple fields allows you to perform an action or apply changes to a group of
fields at the same time. This is especially useful when you want to align several fields to
a specific location on the label.
To group multiple fields:
Left-click on one of the fields.
Holding down the Ctrl key, left-click another field. Repeat to select additional
fields. A thin outline will appear around the selected fields.
Select Format>Group from the menu. The selected fields are now grouped
together and will be treated as one field. Any action that is applied - moving,
resizing, rotating or deleting - will be applied to all of the fields
simultaneously. The selected fields will stay grouped until you ungroup them.
To ungroup the fields, left-click on one of the fields. The thin outline will
appear around both of the fields again. Select Format>Ungroup from the
menu. Important: after ungrouping, you must left-click on an open area of the
label to deselect the fields. Only after the outline around each field disappears
will you be able to select each field separately.
Additional way to group multiple fields:
Left-click on one of the fields.
Holding down the Ctrl key, left-click another field. Repeat to select additional
fields. A thin outline will appear around the selected fields.
The two fields are now grouped together and will be treated as one field. Any
action that is applied - moving, resizing, rotating or deleting - will be applied
to all of the fields simultaneously.
To ungroup the fields, left-click on an open area of the label.
Aligning Multiple Objects
Another way to align multiple objects is the Alignment feature. The Alignment dialog
box allows you to select vertical and horizontal options to align objects to the label.
