Resize AP elements



You can resize an individual AP element, or simultaneously resize multiple AP elements to make them the same width and height.

If the Prevent Overlaps option is on, you will not be able to resize an AP element so that it overlaps with another AP element.

Resize an AP element

  1. In Design view, select an AP element.
  2. Do one of the following to resize the AP element:

    • To resize by dragging, drag any of the AP element’s resize handles.

    • To resize one pixel at a time, hold down Control (Windows) or Option (Macintosh) while pressing an arrow key.

      The arrow keys move the right and bottom borders of the AP element; you can’t resize using the top and left borders with this technique.

    • To resize by the grid snapping increment, hold down Shift-Control (Windows) or Shift-Option (Macintosh) while pressing an arrow key.

    • In the Property inspector (Window > Properties), type values for width (W) and height (H).

      Resizing an AP element changes the width and height of the AP element. It does not define how much of the AP element’s content is visible. You can define the visible region within an AP element in preferences.

Resize multiple AP elements at once

  1. In the Design view, select two or more AP elements.
  2. Do one of the following:

    • Select Modify > Arrange > Make Same Width Or Modify > Arrange > Make Same Height.

      The first selected AP elements conform to the width or height of the last selected AP element.

    • In the Property inspector (Window > Properties), under Multiple CSS-P Element, enter width and height values.

      The values are applied to all selected AP elements.
