Stars are defined by their center, inner and outer radius, number of points, and an orientation angle.
The example to the left shows the contents of the Graphic Details Inspector when a Star is selected. To view this information use the
Graphic Details
menu command found on the Tools menu of the Main menu.
To show the information for a Star item on a drawing, the Inspector must be open and the Star must be selected. The Star of interest must be the only item selected.

The coordinates for the center of the Star is shown in the numeric text boxes labeled "X" and "Y". The location of the Star may be checked in this manner or the Star may be moved by entering a new value for either coordinate.
The inner and outer radii of the Star are shown in two numeric text boxes under the heading "Radii". The radius is that of a circle whose circumference would pass through the points (inner or outer) of the star. They may be examined or changed by making an entry.
The orientation of the Star is defined by an angle shown in the numeric text box labeled "Angle". This angle may be examined in this manner or changed by entering the new value in the text box. The angle is the angle of a virtual line from the center to the key outer point vertex (the one drawn when creating the Star). The angle is specified in degrees.
The number of points of the Star is shown in the numeric text box labeled "Points". The number of points may be changed by entering a new value or using the stepper control.
