Mouse pointer X-Y
This appears at the bottom of the window. The status line tells you about the selected objects, available
options, live drag/snapping indicators, and the X/Y position of the pointer.
The indicators
These appear on the right of the status line:
Live drag indicator
This indicator shows whether live drag is active or not (it is active by
default). Double click the indicator to toggle live drag on/off. When
active, if you reposition, resize, or rotate an object, the whole object
moves (not just an outline), making it far easier to judge the effect of
your edits in real time. Drawing in the Freehand, Straight Line,
Quickshape, Rectangle and Ellipse Tools
is also live with this option on. If your computer is unable to cope
with a particularly complex document, it will automatically turn active
drag off to ensure editing remains fast and efficient.
Snapped indicator
This indicator is active when Snap to objects is enabled (by default
in web documents - click the Snap to objects button (shown on the
lower left) to toggle off and on. Snap to objects allows you to see
potential snapping paths and points relative to other objects and the
page center and edges by showing blue snapping lines for snapping
paths and red dots for points as you drag an object. For more
information on snapping, refer to "Object Handling
".
X/Y co-ordinates
Web Designer Premium shows measurements relative to the bottom left corner of the page area or
spread. However, this is configurable. For more information refer to "Object Handling
".
Normal/full screen modes
In normal screen mode part of the window is occupied by the title bar, menu bar, and scroll bars. This
can be inconvenient if you want the maximum possible editing area. Web Designer Premium has a second
screen mode, fullscreen, which displays a more streamlined screen. You can configure each screen mode
as you wish. For example, each can have its own configuration of the control bars. The configuration is
remembered and applies whenever you swap between screen modes.
Normal/full screen is controlled by "Window" > "Full Screen" or right click and choose Full Screen
("8" on the numeric keypad).
To display the menu bar in full screen mode, move the pointer to the top of the screen.
