Building and editing panels
To size objects based on the size of another object:
1.
Select a group of objects, making sure that you select the primary object last.
The primary object is the one that you would like all others sized relative to. The primary
object’s selection lines appear in blue, whereas those of others appear in red. You can
change the primary object by clicking a selected object.
2. Select one of the following F ORMAT >S IZE menu commands:
Resizing objects using the Width and Height properties
When you select a single object and the Properties view is open (V IEW >P ROPERTIES ), the
object’s dimensions are displayed in the W IDTH and H EIGHT properties. Editing the settings
of these properties immediately changes the object’s size.
Similarly, if you select multiple objects or a group of objects, you can collectively resize all
of the objects belonging to that selection by setting the W
IDTH and H EIGHT properties. This
results in all of the objects being exactly the same size. Note however, that you may need
to reposition the object afterwards.
Same Width Resizes all selected objects to the same width as the
primary object.
Same Height Resizes all selected objects to the same height as the
primary object.
Same Width & Height Resizes all selected objects to the same width and height
as the primary object.
Match Biggest Resizes all selected objects to the same size using the
largest width and height values from amongst all of the
selected objects (the values do not have to be from the
same object).
Match Smallest Resizes all selected objects to the same size using the
smallest width and height values from amongst all of the
selected objects (the values do not have to be from the
same object).
Reset to Natural Size Applies to image objects only. Resets the size of the image
object to the actual size of the image’s original size.
