Object Menu
Two menus allow to perform actions on the objects of a Graphic Sheet.
If you open the Properties Box of the selected objects you will have the properties of the last selected object and with red color it will be marked the Properties that have different valued between objects. By changing the value of any property this will be changed for all the selected objects.
The user can select to view the order of the different objects (order button is highlighted and the user enters the order mode). The order number is seen in the upper left corner of its object. When the user is in this mode he can set the order of the objects from 1 to n (n is the total number of objects) where 1 corresponds to the object that is at the back and n is the object that is on the top of all.
If the user selects a number of objects he can use the Alignment Option in the Object menu in order to align the objects to the Left, Center, Right as horizontal alignment, or Top, Centered, Bottom as vertical alignment.
