Rules for Inserting Rows

The following rules apply when inserting rows/columns:

  • The maximum size of 86,400 grids cannot be exceeded.

  • The maximum number of rows is 1440.

  • The maximum number of columns is 360.

  • The size of one inserted row or column is like the ruler size (that is 10 grids).

  • The first row/column selected must not intersect with an object, that has an origin before this row/column.

  • The same number of rows/columns are inserted as selected in the vertical/horizontal ruler.

  • The new rows/columns are inserted above/left of the first selected row/column (i.e. all objects of the selected rows/columns are moved down/right).

  • When rows/columns are inserted within existing links, these links are kept and are adjusted to the new position of the objects.

NOTE: The section area (number of rows x number of columns) cannot exceed the maximum size of 86,400 grids, e.g. 240 x 360 or 1,440 x 60. The number of rows and columns will impact one another, e.g. the number of rows is determined by the internal calculation 86,400 / number of columns (limited to the lower tenth).
