Scaling properties

Refer to the following table for descriptions of the available scaling properties.

Scaling property	Setting	Description
Rule name	Rule name field	The name of the rule.
Use VDR	Barcode	You can select Use VDR to apply Variable Data Replacement to the rule. Smart Scaling shows a placeholder inside VDR rules that will be replaced by a job specific barcode, address, or Department of Transportation (DOT) label when you print the carton.
	DOT Label
	Address Label
Scaling options	Units	The units of measurement used by the rule parameters.
	Scaling	You can choose whether a visual element scales symmetrically or asymmetrically. Select None to apply no scaling to the visual elements inside the rule.
	Symmetric scaling axis	Smart Scaling uses the X- or Y-axis to scale the visual elements when symmetric scaling is selected.
	Minimum size	The minimum height and width of the visual element.
	Maximum size	The maximum height and width of the visual element.
Anchor positions	Directional arrow or center tile	You can use this option to anchor a side, a corner, or the center of the visual element in place relative to its location on the carton panel. When the panel size and shape changes, the anchored rule will be adjusted according to the carton dimensions. For best results, anchor the rule to the closest panel edge or corner.
	Absolute position	With this option applied, the rule will maintain its absolute distance from the anchor point. For example, a rule anchored 2 inches from the left side of a carton panel will maintain the 2 inch distance on a carton of any shape or size.
	Relative position	This option allows the distance between the anchor point and the side or corner of the panel to adjust by the proportion between the original panel size and the target panel size. For example, on an 8-inch wide carton panel that is scaling down to 4 inches wide, a rule anchored 2 inches from the left side of the panel will adjust to be 1 inch from the left side of the panel.
