Defines the grid settings for creating and moving objects.
To access this command... |
Specifies the settings for the configurable grid on your document pages. This grid helps you determine the exact position of your objects. You can also set this grid in line with the "magnetic" snap grid.
If you have activated the snap grid but wish to move or create individual objects without snap positions, keep the Ctrl key pressed to deactivate this function for as long as needed.
Defines the unit of measure for the spacing between grid points on the X-axis.
Defines the grid points spacing in the desired unit of measurement on the Y-axis.
Specify the number of intermediate points between grid points on the X-axis.
Specify the number of intermediate points between grid points on the Y-axis.
Specifies whether to change the current grid settings symmetrically. The resolution and subdivision for the X and Y axes remain the same.
You can also define this setting by using the Snap icon, which is available in the toolbar in a presentation or drawing document.
The cursor or a contour line of the graphics object must be in the snap range.
In a presentation or drawing document, this function can also be accessed with the Snap to Page Margins icon in the toolbar.
The cursor or a contour line of the graphics object must be in the snap range.
In a presentation or drawing document, this function can also be accessed with the Snap to Object Border icon in the toolbar.
This only applies if the cursor or a contour line of the graphics object is in the snap range.
In a presentation or drawing document, this function can also be accessed with the Snap to Object Points icon in the toolbar.
Defines the snap distance between the mouse pointer and the object contour. Lotus Symphony Presentations snaps to a snap point if the mouse pointer is nearer than the distance selected in the Snap range control.
Specifies that graphic objects are restricted vertically, horizontally or diagonally (45°) when creating or moving them. You can temporarily deactivate this setting by pressing the Shift key.
Specifies that a square is created based on the longer side of a rectangle when the Shift key is pressed before you release the mouse button. This also applies to an ellipse (a circle will be created based on the longest diameter of the ellipse). When the Extend edges box is not marked, a square or a circle will be created based on the shorter side or diameter.
Specifies that graphic objects can only be rotated within the rotation angle that you selected in the When rotating control. If you want to rotate an object outside the defined angle, press the Ctrl key when rotating. Release the key when the desired rotation angle is reached.
Defines the angle for point reduction. When working with polygons, you might find it useful to reduce their editing points.
