Locking and unlocking objects

You can lock the position of several objects at once. This preserves them from getting accidentally moved by you or by other authors working on your title. You can also unlock the position of several objects at once.

The selected objects will be locked in size and position within Edit mode.

Items that are locked will not be clickable and will not show the selection rectangle if clicked in the work area. If they are selected in the Title Explorer, they will show the selection rectangle.

To lock the position and size of multiple objects:

  1. Use the Ctrl key to select more than one object on a page.

  2. Click the lock graphic in the lower-left corner or right-click and select Size/Position Locked. When enabled, the graphic changes to the locked graphic and a check mark appears next to the Size/Position Locked menu item.
