From this bar you can:

Select

You can use the Select tools to select objects across the whole document. This can be particularly useful for changing the style properties of all objects at once. You can select:

  • All items on every page
  • All items in the current Page
  • All Frames
  • All Tables
  • All Lines
  • All Images

Note: When you select objects over multiple pages, you cannot move or resize them.

Measurement and Locking

When you have an object selected, its current top left X and Y co-ordinates are displayed in cm on the status bar.

Clicking on these numbers opens and closes the Measurement and Locking dialog.

From this dialog, you can set for the selected object:

  • X and Y co-ordinates of the top left corner
  • Width and Height
  • Lock the Size and Position
  • Lock the Contents

Locking

Locking Size and Position means you cannot resize or move the object, but you can still edit the content and change the styling.
Locking Contents means you cannot edit the content and styling, but you can still move and resize it.

An object that is locked will show one of the lock indicators when selected.

Related Sizes

You can set whether the Width and Height and linked or not. When the width and height are linked the object will keep its original aspect ratio.
