Setting Value Range: -1000 - 1000

Note: The margin is not part of the object area. Touching its margin is not the same as touching the object.
[Object Alignment]
[Horizontal]

Select the horizontal alignment option. When the object is on [Canvas], [Scroll Canvas], [Zoom Canvas], [View Box], this setting does not work.

-[Left]: The object are left-aligned with respect to the drawing target. The object position shifts right by the numerical value set in [Left] margin. [Right] margin is ignored.
-[Center]: The object are center-aligned with respect to the drawing target. The object position shifts right by the numerical value set in [Left] margin. [Right] margin is ignored.
-[Right]: The object are right-aligned with respect to the drawing target. The object position shifts left by the numerical value set in [Right] margin. [Left] margin is ignored.
-[Stretch]: The object width is smaller than the value set in [Width] by the numerical value set in [Left] and [Right] margin.

Note: When object [Width] is set as default value (value are set in brackets), object alignment is same as [Stretch] even when you select other option than [Stretch].
[Vertical]

Select the vertical alignment option. When the object is on [Canvas], [Scroll Canvas], [Zoom Canvas], [View Box], this setting does not work.
-[Top]: The object are top-aligned with respect to the drawing target. The display position of the object shifts downward by the numerical value set in [Top] margin. [Bottom] margin is ignored.
-[Middle]: The object are middle-aligned with respect to the drawing target. The display position of the object shifts downward by the numerical value set in [Top] margin. [Bottom] margin is ignored.
-[Bottom]: The object are bottom-aligned with respect to the drawing target. The display position of the object shifts upward by the numerical value set in [Bottom] margin. [Top] margin is ignored.
-[Stretch]: The object height is smaller than the value set in [Height] by the numerical value set in [Top] and [Bottom] margin.

Note: When object [Height] is set as default value (value are set in brackets), object alignment is same as [Stretch] even when you select other option than [Stretch].
[Visibility] '(object name).Visibility'

Select the visibility state of the object.
On the right-hand side of the field, click the box to select the source property for the visibility function.
(The value in brackets represents the value of the source property)

-[Visible] (0): Display the object.
