Use the Options Tab of the Geometry Editor dialog box to establish the name, file name, and directory location (if the geometry is an image) of a geometry component and to set rendering options for publishing.
Set the identity and location of a geometry or establish rendering settings using the Options Tab of the Geometry Editor dialog box.
Controls on the Options Tab of the Geometry Editor dialog box include the following:
| Field/Control | Description |
| Thumbnail View | Displays the object currently selected for editing. |
| Geometry Selection | If you have opened the Geometry Editor dialog box without first selecting an object in the Work Window, the geometry most recently edited will appear selected. However, you may select any geometry in the project from the drop-down menu. If you have first selected an object and then opened the Geometry Editor dialog box, the geometry name is displayed. |
| Type | Displays the geometry type (i.e., Rectangle, Ellipse, Import Object, Rich Text, etc.) |
