Micro-PWC CONFIGURATION GUIDE
82 Grafx Editor
available: Align Left , Align Right , Align Top , and Align Bottom .
4.2.1.8 Select Mode
The Select Objects button is used to change to select mode. You can also enter select mode by
clicking the right mouse button on an empty space in a child window. In this mode, the pointer changes to
an arrow shape, and can be used to select one or more objects which have been placed on a submodel or
graphic. This is useful when you want to configure attributes for an object, for grouping objects together,
and so on.
Most of the objects provided in the Shape toolbar require that a series of points be chosen in the Working
View. These points define the object, such as a center point and a point on the radius for making circles.
The prompts for the necessary actions are displayed in the status bar. The cursor becomes a plus sign (+)
when the Grafx editor expects a point to be selected.
The creation of any type of object is terminated by clicking on the Select Objects button, on another tool-
bar button, or by clicking the right mouse button when the pointer is in the Working View of a child window.
4.2.1.9 Redrawing the Working View
Click on the Redraw button to redraw the working view of the active child window.
4.2.1.10 Adjusting the View of a Model
The following options are available to change the contents of the Working View:
• Scroll bars in the child window frame allow you to control the portion of the graphic which is
visible in the Working View area of the active child window. This operation is referred to as
panning.
• Zoom option buttons on the View toolbar allow you to control the amount of coordinate space
which can be visible in the Working View, known as the view size
The view size always has an Aspect Ratio 4 (wide) by 3 (high), to maintain correct proportions of models
during scaling operations. The default view size is 100 x 75 units. The maximum view size is 400 units by
300 units; thus, the available area for a graphic is actually 16 times the size of the default view size. The
user can maintain the same view size and use the scroll bars to see additional areas of the coordinate
space, or use the zoom options to increase/decrease the view size in the Working View.
✎ Note The alignment options can also be accessed via the Grafx menus,
by selecting the sequence Edit > Align.
