You can resize a design component by selecting the component, and then dragging its handles with the mouse pointer to the desired horizontal or vertical size. Drag the side handles to resize the component horizontally. Drag the top handles to resize the component vertically. Drag the corner handles to resize the component both horizontally and vertically.

 

For example, the rectangle below is resized both horizontally and vertically by dragging the bottom-right handle down and to the right with the mouse pointer:

 

rectangle_filled      

rectangle_filled_enlarged

 

To snap a design component its best horizontal size, double-click the handle on the left or right side. To snap a design component to its best vertical size, double-click the handle on the top or bottom. To snap a design component to its best horizontal AND vertical size, double-click a corner handle.

 

For example, the Text Field below contains the cut-off text Sample Text. By double-clicking one of the corner handles (with the Word Wrap feature set to No), the component is resized to exactly fit the text:

 

text_field_small
