Locking Objects

By locking you can protect objects against unintentional changes.

To lock an object, click the lock icon at the bottom of an object or choose Menu Object > Edit objects > Lock Objects.

Clicking again on the lock icon or menu Object > Edit objects > Unlock objects unlocks the object again.

By default, locking prevents objects only from moving. In the program preferences for locking objects (menu Object > Lock objects > Lock definitions…) you can define further object properties (deletion, change of length, fades or volume...) to be locked for locked objects.

To lock all objects on a track, click the lock icon in the track head or track editor. Right-click on a lock symbol to assign the track to one of 16 lock groups. Membership of such a group can be identified by the different colored dots on the lock symbol . Clicking on the lock symbol in a lock group locks or unlocks all members of the lock group.

You can temporarily disable the lock function by holding down the Alt key while clicking objects.
