The Numeric Edits toolbar in MakeIt is used for adjusting the size, position, and orientation of shapes or groups of shapes in your project.
- XPos and YPos
The X and Y (horizontal and vertical) positions of your selection. Because our system is set to align with the lower left corner, X refers to the distance from the leftmost side of the current selection to the left edge of the canvas, and Y refers to the distance from the top of the current selection to the upper edge of the canvas.
- Width and Height
The width and height of the current selection.
- Lock and Unlock
When the lock control is enabled, the aspect ratio (relationship between width and height) of your selection is maintained - this means that if you have a shape that is currently 50mm wide and 25mm tall, it is twice as wide as it is tall, or it has a 2:1 aspect ratio. If you change the width to 80 while the lock is enabled, the height will automatically change to 40, preserving the 2:1 ratio. If you unlock the lock control, the width and height can be changed independently.
