Crossproduct Tool

Note: This topic is for Document/Medical only.

The cross product annotation object (ANNOBJECT_CROSSPRODUCT) consists of two simple lines intersecting at right angles. With the automated functions, the cross product is started on a mouse-down event and completed on a mouse-up event. Holding down the Shift key while drawing the cross product will make the cross product annotation square.

In design mode, click on the object with the right mouse button to do the following:

• Undo the last user action.

• Cut or copy the object to the clipboard.

• Delete the object.

• Select all objects.

• Lock and unlock annotation objects. See Password Dialog Box for Annotations

• Set and manage hyperlink properties for an object or group of objects. Note: The actual management of a hyperlink must be done through low-level implementation. Only the Menu Item "Hyperlink" and an associated event are provided through the automation object. For more information, refer to Implementing Annotation Hyperlinks.

• Bring the object to the front or send it to the back.

• Change the name. See Name Dialog Box for Annotations.

• Change the line width and style properties. See Line Dialog Box for Annotations.
