The Locking Tab

The Locking tab controls the types of changes that can be made to the appearance of the object or element:

Lock Appearance: If you check this box and then close the dialog, you can no longer move or scale the object in any way. To unlock appearance editing, you must select Unlock Appearance from the context menu for the object.

Allow Move: If this box is checked, you can move the object around within the graphics pane The primary portion of the GoldSim interface, where the graphical depiction of the model is shown.. Otherwise, its position remains fixed.

Allow Label Move (elements only): If this box is checked, you can select and move the object's label (separately from the object itself). If the box is cleared (the default), the label can only be moved with the object itself.

Allow Rotation (graphics objects only): If this box is checked, you can rotate the object (using a button on the graphical tools toolbar or by selecting Graphics|Rotate from the main menu).

Allow Scaling: If this box is checked, you can change the size of the object by selecting it and dragging one of the control handles (small boxes on the edges of the image). Otherwise, the size is fixed.

Lock Aspect Ratio: If this box is checked, the aspect ratio of the image is locked when it is scaled. Otherwise, you can stretch the image and change the aspect ratio.
