Object Constraints
Object Constraints - General
Min. Max Width, Height
Here you can enter a minimum and maximum height and width of the object in millimeters, and choose to preserve the aspect ratio or not.
Min. Resolution (image box)
The minimum allowed resolution.
NOTE: Set to -1 to use the document setting.
Allowed Resize (image box)
You can set a minimum and maximum resize ratio as a percentage of the original.
NOTE: Set to -1 to use the document setting.
Move Region
Anywhere
The frame can be positioned anywhere, even outside the page.
Page
The frame can only be moved within the page.
Page Margins
The frame can only be moved within the page margins.
Bleed Box
The frame can be moved outside the page but within the bleed area.
Custom Region
Choose this option to specify a region where the frame can be moved. The area is highlighted in gray and defined by 4 coordinates:
•X: the distance of the move region from the left of the page
•Y: the distance of the move region from the top of the page
•X2: the distance of the move region from the right of the page
•Y2: the distance of the move region from the bottom of the page

Frame Constraints (locking)
Frame constraints are set by choosing one of the following constraints for the different frame properties:
•Inherit: The constraint is inherited from the object’s layer (parent element). The layer constraint level is indicated under each property.
 |
•No: The constraint does not apply and the administrator and shopper (end-user) can change the setting.
•Lock: The constraint applies for the content administrator and the shopper.
•Lock for end-users: The constraint applies only for the shopper on the storefront.
NOTE: In the Forms workspace, all objects except Content are locked by default. These constraints are inherited from the so-called Document level and are meant to prevent the shopper from modifying the frames. The Inherit constraint consequently keeps these objects locked and you must set them to No if you really want to unlock them.
Set All To
The constraint you choose here is set for all the following properties.
Lock Move
Choose a constraint to allow/prevent the shopper moving the frame.
Lock Resize
Choose a constraint to allow/prevent the shopper resizing the frame.
Lock Rotate
Choose a constraint to allow/prevent the shopper rotating the frame.
Lock Delete
Choose a constraint to show/hide the Delete button on the in-line toolbar.
Lock Content
Choose a constraint to allow/prevent the shopper editing the content of the frame. For example, lock the content of an image frame to prevent the shopper assigning a different image.
Lock Frame Settings
Choose a constraint to show/hide the frame settings buttons on the in-line toolbar (Move Back, Forward, etc.).
NOTE: To see the effect of these constraints, switch between Text Edit and Frame Edit modes.
Frame Content Constraints
Frame content constraints are set by choosing one of the following constraint levels:
•Inherit: The constraint is inherited from the object’s layer (parent element). The layer constraint level is indicated under each property.
•All items allowed: The property is not locked and all the available options can be used by the administrator and shopper (end-user).
•Limited selection: Only a selection of options is available for the property. The constraint applies for the content administrator and the shopper.
•Limited selection for end-users: Only a selection of options is available for the property. The constraint applies only for the shopper on the storefront.
Set All To
