The "Object Editor" shows you the various properties of placed elements and you can modify them accordingly. You need a separate license.

 

The "Object Editor" has three tabs. A button bar was also implemented along the bottom of all the tabs to provide direct operation:

You create a square if you hold down the Shift key while drawing the rectangle. If an image object is selected, it is clipped to a rectangle.
