Working with elements

LabeljoyNew version

Once an element is on the label, most of what you do with it happens in the work area: you click it to select it, drag it where you want it, and use the handles on its frame to size and turn it. The panels do the rest, to the tenth of a millimeter.

In this section
Selecting elementsOne element, several together, or all of them.
Moving, resizing and rotatingWith the mouse, the keyboard, or the tools that line elements up.
Draw orderWhich element is in front, and what's in front inside one element.
Copying, pasting and deletingElements, whole label sets, or just a part of an element's settings.

Everything can be taken back. Each move, resize, rotation, paste or deletion is one step you can undo.

Elements you've locked - with the padlock in the Document panel, or Enable mouse movements switched off - stay put when you drag or use the arrow keys, so you can work round them without moving them by mistake.
