Highlight Position / Size (Arrow Documentation macro property)

Where to find it

• Simulation content object > Documentation macros > Arrow macro > Highlight Position / Size property

Purpose

Despite the name, this property defines the length and position of the arrow drawn on the (cropped) screenshot in generated documents via a simulation Arrow Documentation macro. This property consists of four comma-separated values, as follows (from left to right):

1. Start position on the X axis of the 'bounding area' for the arrow object.
2. Start position on the Y axis of the 'bounding area' for the arrow object.
3. Length of the 'bounding area' for the arrow object and therefore the length of the arrow itself.
4. Height of the 'bounding area' of the arrow object. Note that this does not control the 'width' of the arrow - that is determined by the arrow Width setting. The arrow is always centered horizontally within the 'bounding area'.

Use

You can either edit these values directly in the Highlight Position / Size field, or use the Edit button to the right of the field, to display a dialog box that separates the four values into separate fields. However, you will find it easiest to click the Edit button at the top of the Property Sheet for the macro, and adjust the size and position of the arrow in the Add Arrow dialog box.
