Setting description |
|
Display only common defining points |
The option is used to control the display of defining points of selected objects. If the option is enabled, only those defining points that are common for selected objects are displayed. If the option is disabled, all defining points of selected objects are displayed. |
|
Maximum number of selected objects |
The field allows you to set the maximum number of objects, which defining points will be displayed if they are selected at the same time. The number of selected objects is set in the range from 0 to 100. If the number of selected objects exceeds the specified number, their defining points are not displayed. Thus, if you enter 0, the defining points will never be displayed. |
|
Defining points of captions |
The drop-down list allows you to select the number of defining points of the text caption movement. The following options are available: •Three points, •Six points, •Ten points. |
|
|
The number of defining points required depends on the task at hand. For example, if you want to place texts in the center of circles or polygons, select the Six points option. If, in addition, you want to align the text to the center of the side of its overall rectangle, select the Ten points option. |
Having completed the settings, click the dialog box Apply and close. To exit the dialog without changing the settings, click the button Cancel.
