Size - Move Property Page - Template Creator
The size-move property page is available for every pie chart element except the background (which is an area element).
To display this property page either double-click on an element or right-click over an element and select 'Properties'.
Every element has an associated bounding rectangle (you can see this if you click on the element in question). When you view the size-move page notice that there are two sets of arrows: an inner set and an outer set separated by the outline of a square. This square represents the bounding rectangle of the element that is being sized/moved. Arrows inside and outside of the same edge for the square outline will move the associated bounding rectangle side in the direction indicated by the arrow.
The difference between moving and resizing is this: if sizing mode is on then changing one side of the bounding rectangle WILL NOT result in any of the other sides of the bounding rectangle being moved as well. If moving mode is selected then adjusting one bounding edge WILL result in the rest of the bounding edges being moved as well, since we are moving the pie chart element and not resizing it.
To size/move an object click on the object with the left mouse button and size/move it by dragging the mouse.
