Resize a graphic element in the definition of an Add-On Graphic

Resize graphic elements within an Add-On Graphic to change the appearance of the Add-On Graphic. Resizing graphic elements may change the size of the definition of the Add-On Graphic. Instances of the resized Add-On Graphic contain the resized graphic element; however, the size of the Add-On Graphic instances does not change.
If resizing graphic elements in the definition of an Add-On Graphic changes the size of the background for the Add-On Graphic, the graphic elements in the definition are stretched to fit in each instance of the Add-On Graphic in the project. Resizing a graphic element in the definition of an Add-On Graphic does not maintain aspect ratio.
To resize a graphic element in the definition of an Add-On Graphic
    1. In the Project Explorer, expand the
      Assets
      and
      Add-On Graphics
       folders.
    2. Double-click the Add-On Graphic. The definition of the Add-On Graphic opens in a separate tab.

    Tips:
    • Right-click the Add-On Graphic and select
      Open
       or press

      when the Add-On Graphic is selected to open the definition.
    • If an instance of the Add-On Graphic exists on a screen, right-click the Add-On Graphic on the screen or in the
      Graphic Explorer
       and then select
      Open Graphic Definition
       to open the definition. The
      Open Graphic Definition
      option is unavailable for selected groups and multiple selected graphic elements, even if the selection contains an Add-On Graphic.
    Select a graphic element and resize it like any other graphic element on a screen. The size and position of the graphic element update while dragging to resize the graphic element.

    Tips:
    The Add-On Graphic may resize as graphic elements in the definition are moved:
    • Making a graphic element smaller, when that graphic element is the only graphic element near the border of the background, makes the background of the Add-On Graphic smaller.
    • Making a graphic element larger, so that it appears off the border of the background, makes the background of the Add-On Graphic larger.
