Size & Position Pane in EA11?
« on: November 30, 2014, 07:44:03 pm »
Hello,
Where can I find the size and position pane (like in MS Visio) displaying the properties X coordinates, Y coordinates, Width, Height, Angle, Pin Pos for the selected Element in EA11?
Thanks a lot and best regards

Nowhere :(

Quite funny you're the first to ask for that. I guess it's worth a feature request.

If you select something on the diagram the position and size are displayed in the status bar.

I seemed to remember that and had a look. But there was nothing to be seen except for the name of the selected element :-/

Oh. I had V10 open for testing. V11 shows coordinates. V10 doesn't.

Thanks, the status bar in Version 11 shows Left, Top, Width, Height when you select an element but I need input fields to position the elements.
Layout Tools do the job for positioning elements within a diagram, but do not provide much help regarding a consistent layout across diagrams (e.g. multiple dashboards with multiple charts).
I submitted a feature request.
