Rotating and Changing the Shape and Aspect Ratio of Point Elements

You can rotate point elements, assign a different predefined shape, or change the aspect ratio (the ratio of width to height).

How to Modify Point Elements

  1. Select the point elements. You cannot rotate or change the shape and aspect ratio of individual point elements.
  2. Use the symbol toolbar to modify the points.
    • The first button allows you to change the shape of the points. Click the drop-down arrow and select a predefined shape.
    • The second button allows you to rotate the points to a specific compass position. Click the drop-down arrow and then drag the needle to the position you want.
    • The third button allows you to change the aspect ratio. Click the drop-down arrow and then click and drag the rectangle that appears. The shape of the rectangle represents the aspect ratio.
