If you want to change the types of actions behavior of a placeholder object in packGATE, you

To edit a placeholder object

1. To begin, do any of the following:

1. • In the graphical area, right-click the placeholder object, and then click Object Properties.
   • In the Layers & Objects tab, in Type, locate the placeholder object, right-click it, and then click Properties.

2. In the Properties dialog box that appears, click the Placeholder tab.

NOTE: Depending on the type of the placeholder object — a text, image or QR code — a different Placeholder dialog box appears.

3. In Name, type a new name that you want the object to have in the target environment.
4. In Description, type a new text telling what the placeholder is about.
5. Under Lock, edit the placeholder object's properties. The properties define what the placeholder object will look like when it is used in the target environment. Note that selecting a check box prevents changes to the respective property when the placeholder is used in packGATE:

1. • Contents Prevents changes to the placeholder's type (text, image or QR code) and the actual content.
   • Position Prevents changes to the placeholder's position along the x- and/or y-axis.
   • Alignment Prevents changes to the placeholder's alignment — left, right or central.
   • Finishing effects Prevents changes to the applied finishing effects — for example, lamination, backing, color print.
   • Font (text only) Prevents changes to the placeholder text's font (its typeface; size; bold, underline, italic).
   • Color (text only) Prevents changes to the color of the placeholder text.
