Selecting each Constrains size individually allows for them to be added to the list using the button. The should be used to delete any unwanted constraints in the list. Multiple select the constraints followed by the button.
Tip: You are able to select the order for how they are assigned to the list so no arrangement is required prior to mapping stage.
Each size should be allocated a position using the arrow selections to move the constraint up and down the list so it corresponds to the constraint size on the left hand column it to be resized with.
The arrows are used to position the constraint in the correct order. Ensure the constraint is positioned on the same row as the constraint required from the left hand column.
You are able to view and define the constraint using the selection and then selecting the Define Constraint icon.
After the constraints are in the correct order, click the to perform the switch or alternatively to attempt the Fill automatically in one process.
The copy button is used to attempt to duplicate the sizes from one service to another is that size exists.
the Close button is to be selected once the Apply Mapping button has been selected. Clicking Close without the Apply method will lose any changes.
