Object properties, Properties tab

On the Properties tab, you can change the general settings for an object.

Available options:

Name

PlanMaker automatically assigns a unique name to every object in a document. For example, rectangles are called rectangle1, ...2, ...3, etc. If desired, you can enter another name here.

Tip: The name of the currently selected object is displayed on the left in the status bar.

For more information on using names for objects, see Changing the names of objects.

Visible

This option is enabled by default. It causes the object to be displayed on the screen. (For more information, see also Hiding objects.)
If you disable this option, the object becomes invisible.

Printable

This option is enabled by default. It causes the object to appear in the printout when you print the worksheet. (For more information, see also Hiding objects).

Locked

This option is enabled by default. If enabled, the size of the object and its position, or any other object property cannot be changed, when worksheet protection is enabled. See also Sheet protection.

Text locked

This option is only available for text frames and drawings that contain text.
This option is enabled by default. If enabled, the text contained in the object cannot be changed, when worksheet protection is enabled. See also Sheet protection.

Link

Here, you can enter a hyperlink – to a website, for example. To do so, click on the Select button, select the type of link and specify the desired target. The target is opened when the user clicks on the object.

In the case of pictures, the file name of the picture is displayed at the bottom of the dialog box, while some information about the picture that was used (resolution, color depth, etc.) is shown in the right half of the dialog box.
