# Properties (Compound object)

## [Shape] - [Size/Location]

[Aspect Ratio]
Sets whether the aspect ratio of the compound object is fixed when the compound object is placed on a screen or content. Appears only when the layout of the compound object is a Grid, Dock Panel, View Box, or Uniform Grid.

[Fixed]
When this check box is selected and the compound object's size is increased or reduced, the graphical objects used in the compound object maintain the same aspect ratio as when the compound object was created. Note: At design time, if a fixed value is entered for the grid size, or in the case of DockPanel, if the compound object is scaled with a fixed aspect ratio, the aspect ratio of each object inside is not maintained. Only the aspect ratio of the compound object itself is maintained.

[Horizontal Alignment]
Align objects inside the compound object to the left, center, or right within the area of the compound object after it is placed on a screen.

[Vertical Alignment]
Align objects inside the compound object to the top, center, or bottom within the area of the compound object after it is placed on a screen.

[Design Width]
Sets the width of the compound object. Setting Value Range: 1 - 5000

[Design Height]
Sets the height of the compound object. Setting Value Range: 1 - 5000
