Object Position dialog box



The fields in this dialog box are used as follows:

  • Document (%): Select this option to specify the position of the action area relative to the entire screenshot, and then specify the X and Y fields as follows:
    • X: Specify the percentage of the way along the X axis from the upper-left corner of the screenshot at which the upper-left corner of the action area should be located.
    • Y: Specify the percentage of the way along the Y axis from the upper-left corner of the screenshot at which the upper-left corner of the action area should be located.
  • Element (%): Select this option to specify the position of the action area relative to the screen element (see the Control > Position and Size property) at which the upper-left corner of the action area should be located, and then specify the X and Y fields as follows:
    • X: Specify the percentage of the way along the X axis from the upper-left corner of the at which the upper-left corner of the action area should be located.
    • Y: Specify the percentage of the way along the Y axis from the upper-left corner of the at which the upper-left corner of the action area should be located.
    • Offset (px) | X: Specify the number of pixels by which the entire action area should be shifted (to the right for a positive number, to the left for a negative number) from the initial position specified by the Element (%) X value.
    • Offset (px) | Y: Specify the number of pixels by which the entire action area should be shifted (down for a positive number, up for a negative number) from the initial position specified by the Element (%) Y value.

Be careful specifying an offset, as this could result in the action area being shifted beyond the right and bottom boundaries of the actual element.
