Design object

 

This tool allows you to create a Design object on the report or cell types.  It is found on the Insert tab of the ribbon.

 

The Design object displays a schematic diagram of the measurement expression profiles used in a cell type.  It is a great way to document how the cell type is designed.  

 

It works best when it is used on a report page that has nothing else on it, because it requires a log of space for its layout.  The layout automatically adjusted to make best us of the space to show all of the profiles for the cell type.

 

Once the tool is selected, click and drag on the report create the object. The Design object will be created with default properties.  Double-click the object to edit its properties.
