SCALE AND ROTATE A DEVICE ICON
Changing the size and orientation of a device icon does not affect its position. For information on changing an icon’s position, refer to Move a
Device Icon.
To change the size or orientation of a device icon:
1. With the desired map loaded, right-click the device icon you want to resize or reorient and select Scale and Rotate from the pop-up menu.
Make sure you position the pointer over the icon, not the label, before right-clicking.
Figure 198. Scaling and Rotating an Icon
2. Move the pointer away from the icon to make the icon larger. Move the pointer towards the center of the icon to make the icon smaller.
Move the pointer in a circle around the icon to change the orientation of the icon.
3. When the device icon is sized and oriented the way you want it, press the left mouse button. The icon’s size and orientation freeze.
REMOVE A DEVICE ICON FROM A MAP
Removing a device icon from a map does not affect any other icons for that device, whether they are on the same map or another map, nor does
it affect the device in the Object Browser. If you change your mind after removing a device from a map, you can add it back as described in Place
a Device Icon on a Map.
With the desired map loaded, right-click the device icon you want to remove and select Remove from the pop-up menu. Make sure you position
the pointer over the icon, not the label, before right-clicking. The device icon disappears from the map. If it is displayed, the device’s label also is
removed from the map.
NOTE: To minimize the CPU workload, device icons should be as small as possible.
TIP: Hold the Shift key down while scaling and rotating to constrain the scaling to 5 unit increments and the rotation to 15° increments.
NOTE: Scaling a device icon does not affect the size of the device’s label. Refer to Scale a Device Label for information on scaling the
label.
TIP: You do not need to have a device icon on a map in order for the device to function. The icon’s role is to provide operators with an
active visual representation of the device, its status, and controls.
