Common Part Information

Angle

The Part can be rotated up to 360 degrees around its centre. The Part can also be rotated when selected by clicking the rotate indicator on the selection rectangle adorner (vertical line with a circle at the end from the top middle of the selection rectangle adorner).

ZIndex

This value indicates the stacked position of the Part relative to other Parts. Parts with lower ZIndex values than a particular Part will appear behind it and Parts with larger values above it. When Parts share the same ZIndex, stacking order is determined in the order the Parts were added, the last Part being on top of the stack.

X (px) & Y (px)

The X and Y position of the Part on the Canvas. These values can also be changed by clicking and dragging the Part around the Canvas.

Opacity

This value determine how see through the Part will be. A value of 1 represents no opacity whilst a value of 0 would make the Part invisible. Any fractional value between 1 and 0 will make the Part semi-transparent to varying degrees e.g. 0.5 would be 50% transparent.
