To change an element created previously, place the cursor at the element

mark. Then use the change function by pressing the F14 key. The same

display as the one to create the element is displayed on the image area,

except that the previously entered parameters appear in their appropriate

fields.

The following parameters are common to all elements in this display:

Field Name Description
Mark The element mark is displayed in this field. It could be either a
system-assigned mark or a user-assigned name.
Measurement
method This field shows the measurement method used to specify the position.
You may change this field by pressing the F6 key.
Position The position parameter consists of across and down values. These
values specify the horizontal and vertical position of the element being
defined. Possible values for each measurement method in this field
are:
Measurement Method Possible Value Range
Inches 0 to 22.75
Centimeters 0 to 57.79
Row/Columns 1 to 999
Note: The possible value range depends on the size of the overlay or
the page layout. If the size is smaller than the values, the overlay or
page layout size is the maximum possible value.
The Overlay Utility and the Print Format Utility check the specified
values to make sure the element is completely contained in the overlay,
the record layout, or the page layout by referring to the page size which
was previously defined in the overlay specifications or the PFD
specifications. If you press the F6 key to change the addressing from
the current value to another, the values of this field will be changed to
the appropriate values for the new unit of measure as accurately as
possible by the Overlay Utility and the Print Format Utility.
The element display position in the image area will be moved to the
new position if you change the value in this field.
