Preparing diagrams for presentation
Publishing diagrams
After creating a diagram that represents a site, you can add boxes, annotations, and level objects to provide more
information to reviewers or clients. Boxes are rectangular containers for text and graphics. Annotations are text
comments that can be displayed along with an icon. Level objects are brackets, with optional labels, that can be used
to indicate levels in a site. If you want objects created for presentation purposes to appear on each page of a diagram,
you can add them as master items on the Master tab of the diagram window.
You can enhance the appearance of a diagram by aligning and distributing objects and adjusting the curvature of link
lines. To publish the diagram, you print it to paper or export it to Adobe PDF or SVG format for an online presen-
tation.
Master items
The Master tab of the diagram window provides a master view with the same grid and canvas settings as the design
view. Objects added to the master view (master items) appear on each page of a diagram, but can’t be submitted. You
might use master items, for example, to display a logo and title on each page of a diagram.
The master view shows only master items, but the design view shows both master items and objects added to the
design view. You can add master items at any time, but it may be most convenient to set them up before beginning
work in the design view. That way, you can see the master items while you lay out the diagram in the design view.
To add master items to a diagram
❖ Display the Master tab of the diagram window, and drag objects from the Diagram set of the objects toolbox to
the master view.
Boxes in diagrams
Boxes are graphical containers that can hold objects, including text, graphics, and other boxes. All contents within a
box are clipped to the box boundaries, and move with the box. You can format text within a box, and use it to present
captions, titles, and other information.
When you drag an image to the design view, a box is automatically created to contain the image. You can display the
image at its actual size by selecting Size to Image in the Box Inspector.
