Object selection mode: Use to determine where you must position the pointer on an object or group
in order to select it. This is particularly important when you are selecting overlapping objects and/or
groups. Select bounding box to select an object or group when the pointer is anywhere inside or along
the perimeter of the bounding box of the object. Select Pixel to select an object or group only when the
pointer is over the perimeter of the object.
4. Adjust how objects and groups behave with respect to guidelines.
Snap to guidelines: Select to have objects and groups automatically snap to the nearest guide (or
guides) when you move or resize those objects and groups on the page. More precisely, when you move
or resize an existing object or group, as the edge of the object or group approaches a guide, the edge
jumps to lie flush with that guide. When you select this option, existing objects and groups in the
document remain in their current position. Only if you subsequently move or resize them, will they snap
to the guides.
5. Adjust the zoom factors. PlanetPress Design uses these values to determine the new zoom when you
zoom in or out on the document page.
Zoom factor: Set the zoom factor PlanetPress Design uses when you zoom in or out on the document
page using the Zoom tool in the Objects toolbar, the Zoom in and Zoom out tools in the Zoom toolbar,
and the plus (+) and minus (-) keys on the numeric keypad. Values can range from 10 to 1000.
Fine zoom factor: Set the fine zoom factor PlanetPress Design uses when you zoom in using SHIFT+
the plus key (+) on the numeric keypad, or zoom out using SHIFT+ the minus key (-) on the numeric
keypad.
6. Adjust the unit of measure you want to use in PlanetPress Design.
Unit of measure: Set the unit of measure. This determines the units PlanetPress Design uses for the
rulers and for all measurements outside of PlanetPress Talk. Units can be centimeters or inches.
7. Adjust the nudge factor.
Nudge factor: Set the magnitude of the resize that occurs when you resize an object or group using
keyboard shortcuts. Units are as set in the unit of measure.
8. Adjust the dialog box options.
Remember last dialog box position: Select to have PlanetPress Design remember the last screen
position of each type of dialog box, and, if the dialog box is resizable, the last size of the dialog box.
Resizable dialog boxes include the Text/Box properties dialog box and the Data Selector.
Remember last dialog box page: Use this to control the area that is displayed when you open a
dialog box. Select to have PlanetPress display the area that was visible when you last closed a dialog
box of that type.
