To lock an object’s position, rotation, and size, click on the object to select it. Click the Draw | Tools | Lock Object command , or right-click on the object and select Lock Object. When an object is locked it cannot be moved with the Map | Layer | Move/Size All Layers command or by dragging it with the mouse. Objects that are locked cannot be resized, moved, or rotated.
Properties for locked objects can still be edited in the Property Manager. For example, the line and fill properties for a locked polygon can still be changed. Use the Lock Layer command to protect object properties, sizes, and locations from accidental changes.
Repeat the above instructions to unlock a locked object.
