When the highlights box is covering the whole label, you
can leave the label underneath the highlights box:

If the original label is still visible you should delete it after
positioning the details box.

Now insert rectangles, lines or ellipses.

a.

Drag the cursor to the general area where you wish to place
the object, click and drag it to the desired size. The object
appears in a box with "edit handles".  You can drag and
resize the object anywhere in the document window. If the
object is dragged off of the printable area, NiceLabel will
turn its color into red as a warning. This will not change the
color the object prints out as when sent to the printer but is
only used as a warning to let you know you may not be
printing the full object on your label.

b. You can define the thickness by right clicking on a rectangle

or ellipse and choosing 

Properties..

In the appearing win-

dow you can change the values and apply them by clicking
on 

Finish

. For changing the thickness of lines, you have to

pull the "edit handles".

with a high degree of resistance to water, chemicals, cleaning solu-
tions, UV and other harsh environmental factors.
