Document Design Manager - Moving, Deleting and Amending Items

You can move an items position by selecting it with the mouse and dragging it to where it’s required.If the ‘Tools’ option ‘Snap to Grid’ is enabled then all items start in a specified grid point, if switch this off then all bar data items can be set anywhere within the grid cell.

You can delete an item by selecting it with the mouse and pressing the <DELETE> key.

If you right-click with the mouse on any item then a menu is available allowing you to change the properties.

Amending a Text Item

Right-clicking against aText item allows you to access the properties in full and allows individual options to amend the font, set the background colour, add (or remove) a border, right-align the text, or snap to the grid.

You can also reset the font/colour to default values or save the font and colour to the palette for application to another item using the Set option. You can also delete the text item from here.

Amending a Data Item

Right-clicking against a Data item allows you to access the properties box in full and allow individual options to amend the font, amend the background colour, add (or remove) a border, or to right-align the data item.

As with text you can reset the font/colour to default values, save/set the font and colour from the palette or delete the item.

Amending a Line Item

Right-clicking against aLine item allows you to access the properties in full, snap the line to the grid and to delete the line.

When displaying the line properties in full a pop-up allows you to set the width / height in pixels.You can increase the width/height by clicking the up arrow next to the value, down arrow decreasing the width – change in size is based on the displayed unit of increment (which can also be amended). The Snap to Grid option centres the line within the row/column.

Amending a Box Drawing

Right-clicking against a Box item allows you to access the properties in full, amend the background (fill) colour of the box, set/clear round corners, snap the box to the grid and to delete the box.

When displaying the box properties in full a pop-up allows you to set the width / height in pixels.You can increase the width/height by clicking the up arrow next to the value, down arrow decreasing the width – change in size is based on the displayed unit of increment (which can also be amended). The Snap to Grid option centres the box border within the row/column.

You can position items within a box by right-clicking and choose the new option required – if you click on/near the box border you are assumed to be amending the box though, so if want an item up against the border insert it elsewhere and move it to the position you want. If you wish to include lines within a box, perhaps for a column border, then draw the box first and add the lines afterwards.

Deleting an Image

Right-clicking against an Image item allows you to access the properties of the image or to delete it.
