Description Jay Philips 2014-11-23 02:42:31 UTC
Locking an object's size and position are useful features to have quick access to, so it would be good to have easy access to it from the context menu. Presently a user needs to go open the 'position and size' dialog in order to access these features. So i'd like to suggest a single entry be added to the context menu, possibly titled 'Lock', and would contain 3 radio buttons in its submenu for 'None', 'Size', and 'Position'.

Hi Jay:

What do you mean with "contain 3 radio buttons in its submenu for 'None', 'Size', and 'Position'".  How would this look like and how would this work?

Hi Andy,

If you add an image in a document and you open up the context menu, you have idea in the anchor submenu.

Hi Jay, 

Thank you for your reply.
Ok, then you would have three submenus, but what then?  Would there then dialogue boxes be opened for Size and Position?  Sorry, that I didn't get it yet, maybe I am thinking in the wrong direction.  Therefore, sorry that I am asking so many questions. ;-)  You probably don't have a sketch how this would look?

IMO it's a advantage that it's not easy accessible and that users with tittle experience are not in risk of changing the setting by accident.

'Lock' submenu would have 3 items and they would set the lock behaviour the same as if you opened 'position and size' and clicked on protect position or protect size. No probs about the questions. :D Sketch isnt really needed in this instance as we have multiple examples of this same behavior.
