| - | Inserting a rectangle in a mask and working with its properties. | + | In the “Modeling” menu, make sure to select the “Mask” sub-menu. |
| + | Create a new or select an existing mask and then click on the “Edit” button. | ||
| + | The mask designer window opens. | ||
| + | Click on the blue rectangle icon found in the toolbar. | ||
| + | A rectangle graphic appears on the screen. | ||
| + | The graphic can be resized by clicking and holding on the sides or corners. | ||
| + | It can be moved anywhere on the design board. | ||
| + | The graphic can also be edited using the properties section at the lower left-hand side. | ||
| + | For example, set “X1” and “Y1” to 10 to modify its position. | ||
| + | The graphic moves to the position specified. | ||
| + | To deselect the graphic, click on the design board around it. | ||
| + | Another way to deselect the graphic is to find it under the shape menu on the left and untick the box. | ||
| + | Note: The properties section is no longer available once the graphic has been deselected. | ||
| + | The graphic can be reselected simply by clicking on it or by ticking the corresponding box under shape. | ||
| + | Now the properties can once again be modified. | ||
| + | Set the width and the height to “100” for example. | ||
| + | The graphic is resized as specified. | ||
| + | The other properties are just as easily modified. For example, the radius is set to “0,” the background is changed to “yellow,” the border brush is changed to “orange” and the border thickness is changed to 10. | ||
| + | The final step is to activate the graphic using the “Activation” tab. | ||
