contained within this group are rotated as a single unit. For information on grouping objects,
refer to the Grouping Multiple Objects in this section.

Editing Multiple Objects

Select the multiple objects to be edited. Right click the selection and select Properties. The
Properties dialog box appears.
Click on the desired tab and change the properties for the selected objects. Object properties
that can change for a multiple selection, such as size, color, line thickness, and rotation, will be
applied to all objects in the multiple selection.
If a multiple selection contains objects which have different properties, the relevant fields
remain blank. For example, the Fill Color field will be blank if the fill colors of the selected
objects are different. If you change the Fill Color, the change will be applied to all selected
objects.
If a multiple selection contains a rotated object, it is not possible to resize the entire selection.
To resize the selection you must group it first. For information on grouping objects, refer to
section Grouping Multiple Objects in this chapter. Also, it is not possible to resize multiple
selections if one or more of the objects are anchored.

Changing the Object Order

Objects are placed on different "layers" in DesignPro. You may want to rearrange the order of
the objects in your design. For example you may want to bring a text object forward in the
design so it appears on top of a picture. To change the order of an object, click on the object to
select it. Select Layout > Order and choose one of the following options: Bring To Front,
Send To Back, Bring Forward or Send Backward. Or you can click the order buttons on the
Advanced toolbar .
You can also right-click the object to access the Order commands.

Creating a Background Object

To convert an object into a background object, click on the object to select it. Select Layout >
Set As Background or click on the Advanced toolbar. The object will be adjusted to the
size of the template and will be moved to the background layer of the label. Background
objects cannot be edited. Each label can only contain one background. Setting a new object as
the background object automatically deletes the old background object. You can delete an
existing background by selecting Layout > Delete Background.
