To set the size of an object
You can set the absolute size of most objects by setting the height and
width on the Size and Location tab. When you set an absolute size for
an object, that object remains the same size regardless of other
operations you perform.
Note: If you previously rotated an object, the Size options are not
available on the Size and Location tab.
1. Select an object.
2. Press < Object Properties> to get to the object’s Properties screen.
3. Choose the Size and Location tab.
Note: To set height and width for bar code objects, we recommend that
you use the options on the
Bar Code screen Dimensions tab
instead of the Size and Location tab. See Adding bar code
objects on page 7-18 for more information.
4. Enter a height in inches or millimeters in the Height field.
5. Enter a width in inches or millimeters in the Width field.
6. When you complete all settings changes on the Size and Location
tab, click OK . The size you set becomes the default size for the object.
To set the location of an object
The advantage to using the options on the Size and Location tab to set
the location for an object is that you can choose a precise location. This is
useful for laying out complex labels, or when you want to line up
multiple objects on a label.
To set location, think of the screen as a grid with the origin of 0,0 at the
upper left corner of the printable area of the label.
For example, if you set the Left field to two inches and the Top field
to one inch, the object prints two inches from the left of the label and
one inch from the top of the label.
Note: If you previously rotated an object, the Location options are not
available.
