Editing an Identifier Element
The standard size of an identifier is 46x12 mm.
For each identifier element, the following properties can be specified: position and size, type, orientation and value.
Identifier element properties do not depend on the form type.
You can change the properties of the identifier element in the Element Properties window located in the bottom right corner of the main window. The Element Properties window is displayed only if View → Element Properties is selected on the main menu.
