Resizing an OLE to fit in a DOORS column

Question & Answer


Question

How do you resize an OLE in IBM Rational DOORS to display the entire object?

Cause

When you activate an OLE image the container drag handles are beyond the edge of the column.

Answer

When an inserted OLE object is too large to fit in the column in which it has been inserted you can resize it to fit the column. You can resize all of the OLE objects in a module, or just the OLE objects in the current object.

To resize OLE objects to fit the column in which they are inserted:

  1. Select Tools > Support Tools
  2. Set OLE Size For Current Object

Alternately you may choose to resize all OLEs by choosing Set OLE Size In All Objects in the formal module window.

To reset OLE objects to their original size:
  1. Select Tools > Support Tools
  2. Reset OLE Size In Current Object
    or
    Reset OLE Size In All Objects
