PZeroLock

Locks the zero point where the rulers are located.

Command constructor

PZeroLock(PMBool bState);
false to unlock the zero point
true to lock the zero point
Automatic zero-point position. When you create a new publication, PageMaker automatically locates the rulers' zero point at either the top-left corner of the page or, for facing pages, the middle of the top edge of the paper where pages intersect.

Many graphic designers prefer to reposition the rulers' zero point at the intersection of the top and left margins for measuring within the image area of each page.

Example. This command locks the zero point where the rulers are currently located.

PZeroLock(true);
