Configure symbol options

Wizard options vary for different wizards. Changing colors will impact the drawing speed of the bitmaps and textures since each pixel must be scanned and possibly changed.

Configure wizard options

1. Open a window containing a Symbol Factory wizard.

2. Double-click the wizard.

   The Symbol Factory by Reichard Software dialog box appears.

3. Keep the wizard selected and select Options.

   The Symbol Options dialog box appears. The image properties shown on the Symbol Options dialog box vary by the type of wizard you selected to edit. The following example shows the options that are available when you selected a picture wizard symbol.

   

   Tip: If the Enable alternatives to right mouse button option is selected in the Configure Symbol Factory dialog box, the Edit Symbol button is shown and you can select it to configure the selected wizard.

4. In the Size and Rotation area, do any of the following:

   • Select the Keep Original XY Proportions check box to retain the original aspect ratio of the wizard.

   • Select the Flip Horizontal check box to flip the wizard horizontally.

   • Select the Flip Vertical check box to flip the wizard vertically.

   • In the Rotation Type box, type the number of degrees to rotate a wizard. Picture wizards can be rotated to any angle. Bitmap and texture wizards can only be rotated in 90 degree increments (0, 90, 180, or 270). Select the button to automatically increment the rotation angle by 90 degrees.

5. If you are configuring a picture wizard, in the Line and Fill areas, do any the following:

   • In the Fill Color Mode list, select a fill type. Double-click the Fill Color box to open the color palette.

   • In the Line Color Mode list, select a line color. Double-click the Line Color box to access the color palette.

   • In the Line Style list, select a line style.

   • Select the Extra Lines check box to add lines at the borders of gradients within the wizard.

6. If you are configuring a bitmap or texture wizard, in the Effects and Change Colors areas, do any the following:

   • Select the Include Border check box to create a black border around a wizard.

   • Select the Include Shadow check box to create a dark gray shadow behind the wizard.

   • Select each color box to open the color palette to change the colors in the wizard.

7. Select OK.
