When you show the Image Legend by default it appears in the top left corner of the page (or pages).

Image Legend defaults to upper-left corner of image window

This is only the default location you can move the legend anywhere on the Page.

Relocating the Legend

You can move the legend from its default position if it's covering something important on that page.

To move the Image Legend:

  • Click on the Select tool Select Tool on Main Toolbar
  • Click once on the Image Legend to select it; you will see the outline around it change color
  • Drag and drop it anywhere else on the page

You may place the Image Legend anywhere on the image canvas or the surrounding gray border. However it must be on the canvas to be visible from Print Preview.

Moving Image Legend from default position

If you move the legend and leave that page or close the bid when you return to that page or reopen the bid the legend will be in the same place.

In other words its position will persist until you move it again or reset it.

Resetting the Legend

If at any time you want to return the legend to its default position/appearance:

  • Click the Image Legend icon Image Legend button on the main toolbar
  • In the Bid Image Settings dialog click Reset in the bottom right corner

Moving the Image legend - reset

The Legend will move to the top left corner of the page. Its appearance will reset to the default preferences saved in Settings for the application.
