5.7.4 Resizing items

Basic blocks can be resized. This is done by the following steps:

Select the block. It will be surrounded by a red rectangle.

Move the mouse to one of the border lines or corners of the red rectangle. The cursor will change to a

double arrow.

Hold down the left mouse key and move the mouse to the new size.

Release the left mouse key after the required size was achieved.

If the block is getting too small to display texts they will not be displayed. Resizing is always done in grid

units. There is a minimum size that is defined by the number of ports.
