muteUnstretchableOption

layout muteUnstretchableOption boolean { t | nil }

Description

Lets you control whether to display a dialog box when you attempt to stretch multiple figures and only some of the figures in the selected set can be legally stretched.

The default is t, which means that no form appears, and you are only able to stretch the legally stretchable figures; figures that cannot legally be stretched do not stretch.

When set to nil, a form opens to let you choose whether to stretch only the legally stretchable figures within the selected set or to cancel the stretch command. You can partially select three rectangles, and your stretch would cause one rectangle to have zero area, a dialog box appears, stating that one shape in the selected set will not be stretched. You can click OK to stretch the two stretchable rectangles and leave the unstretchable rectangle un-stretched, or you can cancel the command.
