Fixed Size Symbol Behavior During Run Time

The following list summarizes the key behaviors of fixed size symbols during run time.

• Symbols that have the Size property set to Fixed, render all graphic elements placed within the fixed size boundary at their configured fixed size at run time.

  • Symbols do not change size or aspect ratio within the pane that is hosting the graphic symbol.

  • Symbols configured to fit exactly within a hosting pane, render to fit exactly within the size of a pane. The graphic elements in the symbol render at the same size and placement as designed in the Industrial Graphic Editor.

  • The white space around primitives or embedded symbols present in the symbol maintains its size and placement within the symbol.

• Fixed size symbols change size or aspect ratio to fit the hosting pane during run time in the following cases:

  • When the symbol's size is larger or smaller than the hosting pane.

  • When symbol size is the same as the hosting pane but there are graphics that are placed outside the fixed size boundary configured for the symbol. This includes graphics that are placed on negative coordinates as well.

  • When symbol size is the same as the hosting pane, but graphics that are placed on the boundary of the symbol marked by the size configured for the graphic.

• Embedded symbols follow the same behavior as standard fixed size symbols.
