Additionally, you can change the scale and the rotation angle of the translated
image in the property window. Option “Scale Elements Font” controls scaling
of the drawing elements added to the copy set. When the flag is on font size of
all elements being copied will be scaled according to the assigned scale factor.
When the flag is off, font size remains unchanged. The flag does not affect font
size of the text being copied – it is always scaled.
When defining the end point of the transformation, you can restrict pointer
movements by snapping to the coordinate axes. This helps defining a vertical
or horizontal transformation. The related options are and . Turning on
either option allows pointer movements along the respective axis. When turned
off, the option prohibits movements in the respective direction. With both
options turned off, the moving (copying with translation) can only be done among the pages without
changing the coordinates of the object being translated.
When defining a rotation, three points are specified in a general case: the center
of rotation (the attachment point), the start point and the end point. Rotation is
done about the specified center. The rotation angle is defined as the angle
between the vectors constructed from the rotation center to the start and end
points.
The value of the rotation angle can be specified numerically or by a variable in
the property window.
When using the mode of the origin point automatic definition based on
characteristic points of the outlining rectangle, the rotation center is defined
automatically.
