Settings for Objects with Frames

With respect to their appearance in the graphics, objects with a frame around them are edited individually via their edit dialog. This does not hold for the object „Symbol“. The following objects appear with frame:

  • Text Box
  • Level Box
  • Symbol
  • Station Mark

They are used for information purposes or to refine the graphic representation and are acoustically irrelevant.

We will use the text box as an example to explain all settings which apply analogously to all such objects. Special settings are explained in the pertinent sections.

The chapter Inserting Objects (see manual "Introduction to CadnaA") describes how to insert the individual objects.

Adjust the size and all other settings immediately after having entered the first object. All further objects of the same type adopt the settings. In this case insert the following objects only by clicking once on the desired position.

Any inserted box is listed on the pertinent object table under Tables|Other Objects. You may use this table to change settings for all existing boxes at once without clicking each individual box. Select the Change Column command and define the desired settings.
