Access

During placement, the dialog can be accessed by pressing the Tab key.

After placement, the dialog can be accessed in the following ways:

• Double-clicking on the placed object.
• Placing the cursor over the object, right-clicking and choosing Properties from the context menu.
• Selecting the Edit » Change command, then clicking once over the placed object.

Options/Controls

• Line Width - Select a value from the drop down list to set the line width used to draw the elliptical arc.
• X Radius - The fields show the current radius of the arc in X direction. Edit the value to change the shape of the arc directly.
• Y Radius - The fields show the current radius of the arc in Y direction. Edit the value to change the shape of the arc directly.
• Start Angle - This field shows the current start angle of the elliptical arc. Elliptical arcs are drawn counter-clockwise from the start angle to the end angle. Edit the value in this field, from -360 to 360 to change the start angle directly.
• End Angle - This field shows the current end angle of the elliptical arc. Elliptical arcs are drawn counter-clockwise from the start angle to the end angle. Edit the value in this field, from -360 to 360 to change the start angle directly.
• X Location - This field shows the current X coordinate of the center of the elliptical arc. Edit the value in this field to change the position of the object directly. 
• Y Location - These fields show the current X and Y coordinates of the center of the elliptical arc. Edit the values in these fields to change the position of the object directly. 
• Color -  Click the color sample to change the line color of the elliptical arc.
• Locked - If this option is checked, the elliptical arc is protected from being edited graphically. Lock an elliptical arc whose position or size is critical. If you try to edit a design object that is locked, you will be informed that this object is locked and asked if you wish to proceed with the action. If this option is unchecked, the design object can be freely edited without confirmation.
