Locking and Unlocking Objects

You can prevent changes to object properties by locking the objects in either the General Tab of Object Properties dialog or in the General palette. Locked objects cannot be changed in any way, even if they are part of a group, which is being modified. The object is unlocked when you release the "lock" option. Locking and unlocking are realized with the help of the button. The presentation pictured above is typical for unlocked objects.

To lock an object:

* Working with a certain object and being either in the General Tab of Object Properties dialog or in the General palette, click the Lock/Unlock button. The application locks the current object.

To unlock a locked object:
