The Freeze/Unfreeze function allows you to freeze/unfreeze the current center position and scale of a drawing instance so that neither one can be modified (see Modify Restrictions below). To unfreeze a center position and scale, simply select the Freeze/Unfreeze function a second time.

Modify Restrictions:

When Freeze is used, the following modification/editing procedures will not be allowed:

• Changing the center position (panning)

• Scaling

• Resizing the border and changing the border type

• Changing the position

• Changing the rotation

• Blanking

• Instance alignment

• Changing the display view

• Changing the rendering method

• Using KeyCreator’s Global Edit

Using the Function:

1. Select Freeze/Unfreeze from the Drawing Layout>Archive Ribbon area.

2. Select the drawing instance you intend to freeze / unfreeze.

3. The program then freezes (or unfreezes) that instance.
