and size. Moreover, at the upper left corner of the picture there will be a picture movement marker, with the
help of which a movement of a whole picture can be performed.
To modify the picture size, move the mouse to the desired fixing point and click . The picture’s outline
will start rubberband. One of the corners of the outline will be “tied” to the pointer, while the other stay still.
Next, move the pointer to the desired position and click . After that, the picture will redraw per its new
sizes. If the selected fixing point was fixed to a node, this fixing will be broken after the move.
Upon movement of the fixing point, the following option will be available in the automenu:
Set Relation with Node
To move the picture with the help of the movement marker, it is necessary to bring the cursor to the pointer,
press , drag the cursor to the desired location and press again. If the fixing points were initially fixed to
nodes, then, upon moving the picture, their relations with those nodes will be broken.
The picture’s rotation angle can also be defined in the two-fixing-points mode in the properties window.
Editing Picture Inserted by One Fixing Point, Angle and Scale
In case when selected picture was put on the drawing with the help of one fixing point, angle and scale, the
fixing point as well as the markers for setting picture's movement, scale and angle of rotation will be
highlighted. The markers enable to change position, angle of rotation and size of the image directly on the
drawing.
The location of the fixing point will be determined by the value of the parameter “Fixing Point” in the
command's properties window. If this parameter is modified, another fixing point will be highlighted on the
drawing (corresponding to the selected value of the parameter).
Detailed description of working with markers was provided in the chapter “Drawing view. Detail
