Edit multiple products / drawing objects

 

Change or move several items

 

Several products (drawing objects) can be edited at the same time.

 

Allows products to be stretched equally to fill e.g. a wall, and product depths to all be changed by the same amount.

 

To edit several products at the same time, select the products and choose the edit option

 

When the mouse is clicked the nearest product is selected as the reference product and the nearest side of that product is selected as the edit choice, e.g. click near the product side to edit the width of all selected products.

 

Editing the depth of products - As the depth of the reference product is changed the depth of the other selected products changes by the same amount. If a selected product has a fixed depth this is not adjusted. The change in depth cannot cause the depth of any product to go below 0.

 

Editing the width of products - As the width of the reference product is changed, the width of the other selected products changes by the same amount. The products also move over so that the distance between them remains the same. Products with sides which do not overlap the sides of the reference product are not changed. The width of products with fixed widths is not be changed but these products are moved to allow for the change in width of the other products. The change in width cannot cause the depth of any product to go below 0.

 

The side of the reference product which is being edited snaps to lines (as in single product editing) but only if the lines are at exactly the same angle as the product.
