Object properties, Format tab

You can use the Format tab to make settings with respect to the format of the object, such as resizing it.

Available options:

Size and Scaling sections

You can resize the object here. To do so, enter the desired Width and Height. Alternatively, you can change an object's size by specifying the width as a percentage of the original width in Horz. scaling and the height as a percentage of the original height in Vert. scaling.
If the option Keep aspect ratio is enabled, changes in height automatically have a proportional effect on width (and vice versa).
There is an additional option named Keep scaling for OLE objects. If it is enabled, any changes made to the object's size within its source application will automatically affect the object in PlanMaker. If it is disabled, the object will always remain the same size in PlanMaker. (Note: Not all OLE source applications support this feature.)

Position section

Here you can choose to what extent the object's position and size is dependent on the cells it covers. Options available:
Depends on cell position and size: The object behaves like its upper left corner was anchored to the cell beneath. For example, when you insert additional rows above this cell, the object moves down accordingly.
Furthermore, the object's size depends on the height and width of the cells it covers. For example, if you increase the width of some of these cells, the object grows accordingly.
Depends only on cell position: The object behaves like its upper left corner was anchored to the cell beneath as well. However, it does not change its size, when you change the size of the cells it covers.
Independent of cell position and size: The object always keeps its original position and size, independent of the cells it covers.

Rotation section

This option is only available for drawings and pictures.
Here, you can rotate the object. To do so, enter the angle at which you want to rotate the object clockwise.

Flip section

This option is only available for drawings and pictures.
Here, you can flip the object vertically or horizontally.
