Adding A Graphic Holder

We will now create a rectangle for a graphic.  These are the steps to accomplish that:

1.  Click on the  left side toolbar button

2.  Left button click and drag anywhere on the badge to create a white rectangle

3.  Left click on the rectangle and drag it to the desired position

4.  The rectangle you just created should still be selected.  If not, Left click on it. Click on the  left side toolbar button. (Alternatively, you can right click the rectangle and select Edit Rectangle Parameters to perform the same function as the toolbar button.)

5.  In the pop-up dialog Bitmap should already be selected from the pull-down in the Content Format section

6.  Click on Browse in the Bitmap Options section and a file selection dialog will appear

7.  Double click on sample in the directories list, the file b.bmp will appear in the File Name box

8.  Click on “b.bmp” and then on OK

9.  Click on the X Position text entry box and enter 1.50(38.1)

10. Click on the Y Position text entry box and enter 0.20(5.1)

11. Click on the X Size text entry box and enter 1.00(25.4)

12. Click on the Height button in the Set Aspect section.  This will adjust the Y Size to match the aspect ratio of the selected graphic

13. Click on OK

You should now have a correctly sized rectangle with the selected bitmap in it.  You can now practice dragging this rectangle to its final position by clicking on it with the Left mouse button and holding the button down while moving the mouse.  When the rectangle outline is in the desired location, release the mouse button.

You may have noticed an “Inverted” check box in step 3.  If you check this, the bitmap will be displayed up-side-down.
