Changing the Position and Size of Objects Anchored to Layout Cells

Use this procedure to change the position and size of objects anchored to layout cells. You can change the coordinate
system and orientation of an object anchored to a layout cell. You can also define insertion and size offsets and indicate
whether the object should be resized when the cell is resized.
1 Double-click the anchored object.
2 On the Properties palette, expand Basic, and expand Location in Cell.
TIP You can also access commands to change the position of the anchored object from the context menu. Select
the anchored object, right-click, and click Cell Anchor. From the submenu, choose the desired command to
manipulate the anchored object in relation to its anchoring grid cell.
3 Click Anchor.
4 Change the position or orientation of anchored objects:
If you want to
specify an offset from the object to the cell
anchor the object to the center of the cell
have the anchored object use the coordinate system of the
cell
not have the anchored object use the coordinate system of
the cell
flip the object along the X, Y, or Z axes
5 Specify how an anchored object is resized to fit the edges of the cell:
If you want to
resize the object every time the cell is resized
not resize object every time the cell is resized
specify a distance between the anchored object and the cell
extend the anchored object beyond the cell edges
6 Click OK.

Anchoring Objects to a Different Cell

You can attach an anchored object to another cell in the same layout grid or volume grid, or to another grid altogether.
