      Tips:
      • A tooltip shows the height and width of the graphic element as you resize it.
      • The font size configured for a graphic element with a text value determines the height of the graphic element. If you resize or rotate a Text Input graphic element, the font size does not change.
      • If you resize an element while multiple graphic elements are selected, each element is resized and the proportion is maintained. The height and width shown in pixels are for the selection you are resizing.
      • Resizing an instance of an Add-On Graphic scales the text of any graphic element contained in the definition of the Add-On Graphic.
      • Changing the size of an instance of an Add-On Graphic does not change any other instance of the Add-On Graphic in the project. The proportion of each graphic element within the Add-On Graphic is maintained as the instance of the Add-On Graphic is resized. Resizing an instance of an Add-On Graphic does not affect the definition of the Add-On Graphic.
