| **Select Region**            | Selects a region on the image and moves the selected block.<br />Sometimes a block may be too small to be moved, because its borders are very close together and pointing at any of them activates the "change size" mode. Hold down **Ctrl** to move such blocks.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| **Measure Rectangle**        | Detects the coordinates and sizes of objects on the image and copies them to the Clipboard.<br />To measure an object on the current image, activate the **Measure Tool** and select the rectangular area to be measured: right-click one corner of the area, drag the mouse diagonally into the opposite corner, and release the mouse. The **Measure Tool** dialog box displays the coordinates and the width and height of the measured object in the user-defined [units of measurement](/flexi-capture/fls/template/units).<br />If you select **Automatically copy results to Clipboard** in the **Measure Tool** dialog box, the coordinates of the rectangle are copied to the Clipboard so that you can easily paste them, for example, on the **Search Constraints** tab in the **Properties** dialog box of any element to define its [search area](/flexi-capture/fls/template/search-constraints). |
| **Scroll Tool**              | Scrolls the image in the **Image** window.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| **Create Element**           | Creates a new block or element and lets you specify its properties based on the pre-recognized image.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
