Position data
The type of data that is displayed depends on whether you choose Height/Width or Top/Bottom,
Start/End, Delta V/H, or Length/Angle.
Left: Type the horizontal distance from the ruler’s zero point to the left edge of the object.
Top: Type the vertical distance from the ruler’s zero point to the top edge of the object.
Height: Type the height of the object, relative to the top edge of the object.
Width: Type the width of the object, relative to the left edge of the object.
Bottom: Type the vertical distance from ruler’s zero point to the bottom edge of the object.
Right: Type the horizontal distance from the ruler’s zero point to the right edge of the
object.
St V: Type a value to position the first endpoint of a line, relative to the vertical ruler’s zero
point.
St H: Type a value to position the first endpoint of a line, relative to the horizontal ruler’s
zero point.
End V: Type a value to position the last endpoint of a line, relative to the vertical ruler’s zero
point.
End H: Type a value to position the last endpoint of a line, relative to the horizontal ruler’s
zero point.
Delta V: Type a value to position the last endpoint of a line, relative (vertically) to the first
endpoint of the line.
Delta H: Type a value to position the last endpoint of a line, relative (horizontally) to the first
endpoint of the line.
Length: Type a value to specify the length of a line.
Angle: Type a value to specify the angle of a line.
X: Type a value to position a handle of a polygon, relative to the horizontal ruler’s zero point.
Y: Type a value to position a handle of a polygon, relative to the vertical ruler’s zero point.
Start: Type a value to specify the starting point of an arc in degrees.
Delta: Type a value to specify the length of an arc segment in degrees.
Diag: Type a value to specify the roundness of the corners of a rounded rectangle.
