After placing a graphic or graphic elements on the canvas of the Industrial Graphic Editor, you can set several properties to specify a fixed size for the graphic. The following screen shot shows how to adjust the fixed size of a graphic.

The Size property is set to Auto by default, which automatically sizes graphics. Set Size to Fixed to create fixed size graphics. When set to Fixed, the FixedWidth and FixedHeight properties appear, which show the dimensions of the fixed area of a graphic in pixels. You can enter the graphic's width and height directly in the FixedWidth and FixedHeight fields.

The gray area represents that part of the Industrial Graphic Editor canvas that is outside the boundary of the fixed size area of the graphic. |

Grab handles on the fixed size boundary can be moved to change the size of the fixed area of a graphic. The FixedWidth and FixedHeight properties update to show the current width and height when you move the boundary. Grab handles are placed at the following locations on the fixed size boundary:

The thick black line shows the boundary between the Industrial Graphic Editor canvas within the fixed size area of the graphic set by the graphic's FixedWidth and FixedHeight properties and the canvas area outside the fixed dimension area. |

The white area of the Industrial Graphic Editor canvas is within the fixed size boundary of the graphic. |
You can place graphic elements from the Industrial Graphic Editor's Tools section or embed graphics as you would normally do when the Size property is set to Auto. As long as the graphics elements or embedded graphics are placed inside the fixed size boundary, the graphic will fit the size of a pane perfectly. Graphics within the graphic maintain the same size, scale, spacing, and white spaces around the graphics on the canvas specified during design time.
