Detailed operating instructions
There are two options for selecting several boxes:
• You may select several boxes by clicking once with the left-hand mouse key on each of the boxes
to be selected whilst the SHIFT key is held down. This will generate a focus frame around all
selected boxes. Furthermore, this method allows to deselect selected boxes. Simply click another
time on a previously selected box whilst the SHIFT key is pressed.
• Your may select several boxes by placing a focus frame around all boxes to be selected. Click in
the area of the plate which has
no box (when clicking in a box, you would select it!). Then move
the mouse (keep the left-hand mouse key pressed!) until the focus frame fully surrounds all boxes
to be selected. When letting go of the left-hand mouse key now, a focus frame will be generated
around all selected boxes.
5.9.2 Aligning of several boxes end to end
After having selected several boxes, as described in the last section, the following commands will be
activated in the ”Process” menu:
• Align left
• Align right
• Align top
• Align bottom
Fig. 9: ”Process” menu - Aligning several boxes and intermediate saving
When selecting the Align left command, all selected boxes will be positioned flush with the left-hand
margin of the focus frame. When selecting the Align bottom command, the bottom edge of all selected
boxes will be positioned flush with the bottom edge of the focus frame, etc.
Admittedly, advanced work with a focus frame and several boxes, as described in this section,
requires some experience. However, once you have mastered this skill, your work will be all the more
efficient.
Therefore: Try, try again, it will be worth your while! And it is simpler than you think!
