Boardmaker Buttons User Manual

Resizing Buttons
Resizing a Single Button
When resizing a button by dragging an edge or corner, only the button changes size - any symbols
or text remain in their original position and size.
a. Hold down the Control key, on your keyboard, when resizing a button and the contents will
resize as well.

b. The text will automatically scale as well. If you would rather the text remain the same size, hold
down both the Control and the Alt keys while resizing the buttons.
c. To keep the button in the same width-to-height proportion, hold the Shift key down, as well as the
Control key.
Resizing Multiple Buttons
In previous versions of Boardmaker, there was no way to resize more than one button at a time. You
can now resize multiple buttons at once. To accomplish this:
a. Select the buttons you wish to resize.
b. Press and hold the Control key. A dashed rectangular boundary will appear. (note dotted frame in
second example below.)
2
c. Resize this new dashed boundary as if you were resizing a single button.
As with single button resizing, holding down the Shift key will allow the buttons to maintain their
original proportions. In addition, holding down the Alt key, will keep text the same size, rather than
resizing, as the button is resized.
