Objects may be inserted in the project workspace in different ways: using the tab "Insert" (Object > Insert), shortcut keys or per drag & drop function of the variable list. Text objects are inserted most comfortably and efficiently per drag & drop from the variable list. Simply select the desired variable and drag it to a free area in the project workspace. The easiest way to insert all other objects is via the toolbar.

 

1.  Select the desired object type. The mouse pointer will change to a crosshair.

2.  Place the crosshair on the point at which a corner of the object should be placed. It is best to use the left upper corner of the planned object.

3.  Depress the left mouse button and pull – while keeping the mouse button depressed – to the opposite corner of the planned object. If you started in the upper left corner, pull the crosshair to the lower right corner of the planned object.

4.  A dashed frame will appear which represents the size that the object will assume upon release of the left mouse button.

5.  Release the mouse button when the object (dashed frame) has the desired size.
