Groups & Displays data:

Parent Links visualises the links between Display Groups with a dotted line between the anchor-point of the child group to the alignment-point of the parent.

Display Data shows the Stage coordinates and other information when mousing over a Display.

Display Spacing shows the pixel distance, and physical units if active, between the centre of Displays to aid protector positioning.

Crop Values shows the number of pixels, relative to the Group surface size, to be cropped for each display to aid the creation of media proxies.

4:3 Marks shows 4:3 aspect ratio guide lines (for non 4:3 aspect ratio Displays).

When the physical scale of a project has been set, a grid of 1 metre squares can be activated.

The grid alignment, offset values and outline colour for the physical grid can be set here.

The surface outline is shown when manually specifying the Group layout dimensions. The outline colour of the area can be set here.
