Defining frame constraints
You can lock/unlock constraints on each side of frames independently; for example, if you want to unlock the bottom constraint only for frames that you want to have a fixed height.
Prerequisite
-
The left zone is shown.
-
Frames is selected in the Engrave toolbox.
-
If you want to define the constraints of frames on a page template, you have opened the page template in the page template editor.
Procedure
-
In Engrave mode, select the frame whose constraints you want to define.
Note
You can only define constraints for a single frame at a time.
-
In the Constraints section of the Frames panel, click the constraints that correspond to the sides of the frame that you want to lock/unlock.
Note
Frames must have at least one locked constraint from each pair of top/bottom and right/left, such as top and right.
Result
The constraints of the selected frame are changed. This affects which edges are locked to the corresponding page margin and whether the size and/or shape of the frame is changed on pages with different page sizes, orientations, and/or page margins. For example, frames with an unlocked top or bottom constraint have a fixed height. Similarly, frames with an unlocked right or left constraint have a fixed width.
After Completing This Task
You can change the size and/or shape of frames.
