Locking and Unlocking Objects

Locking Objects

Objects in a drawing can be protected with the Lock command so that they cannot be accidentally moved, deleted, or edited. A locked object must be unlocked before any changes can be made to it.

To lock an object:

1.	Select the object or objects to lock.

2.	Select Modify > Lock, or select Lock from the object context menu.

The Object Info palette indicates that the object is locked. Depending on the selection highlighting setting in VectorWorks preferences, the handles and/or highlighting also change to indicate that the object is now locked (see Selection Indicators).
