Changing Symbol Shape

You may change the shape of one or more symbols at any time. Select the symbols to change and click on the Tool Bar button, or choose the Symbol Properties... command (F4). You will see the Select Symbol Shape dialog box. See Figure 4-1.

If no symbols are selected, the current default settings for shape properties will be selected for modification.

If multiple symbols are selected, the common properties will be shown as selected in the dialog. Any properties modified in the dialog will be applied to the selected symbols.

Choose new shape properties and click the OK button or press Enter.

Alternatively, a symbol€™s shape can be changed to one of those on the shape palette by first selecting the symbol(s) and then holding down the shift key while clicking on one of the symbols in the shape palette.

In addition to the Symbol Properties... command mentioned above, you may use the Symbol Rotate (Ctrl+R) command to rotate one or more selected symbols by 90 degrees counter clockwise. Also the Flip X (Ctrl+Shft+X) and Flip Y (Ctrl+Shft+Y) commands will flip the selected shape or shapes about the indicated axes.Chartist-Pro
