Parent tab

Some commands and operations are applied also on all child objects. These commands and operations are:
• Movement of parent object on the work area
• Changing the stacking of the parent object
Figure 5-54
Edit object dialog box – Parent
An object can only serve as parent, if it has a unique name, which is also different from the object type identifi-
cation. Only these names are listed in the Name list. An object can only be a child or a parent. No further rela-
tions are possible.
To assign a child object to a parent object, the name of the parent object has to be selected from the Name list.
To split them again, none has to be selected. The position of the child object has to be indicated relative to the
parent object (Position, X Offset and Y Offset). If no offset is inserted the child object will be positioned directly
on the parent object. The child objects are always on top of the parent object in the stacking order. The stacking
order of the child objects among each other remains. If the Lock size check box is selected, the size of the child
object is tied to the size of the parent object. It will be increased and decreased in the same ratio as the parent
object.
Deleting the parent object deletes also the child objects!
Changing the name of the parent object, splits the child objects form the parent object!
