[Calc] Dose Calc support Excel similar function "Move but don't size with cell" for drawing object/picture

Hi,

In Excel, user can set object positioning properties for a drawing
object/graphic. There are three options.  AOO does not have similar
properties. But it use anchor attribute to reflect these properties.
     Excel                                                 AOO
Move and size with cells                          Anchor to cell
Move but don't size with cells                   ?
Don't move or size with cells                    Anchor to page

Does anyone know how to get the effect "Move but don't size with cell" for
drawing object in AOO.

Hi, Lei

I do not found coresponding setting to mapping.

A workaround for your reference.
1. Create a drawing object (say, a shape), the default anchor should be To
Cell.
2. Right click it -> Position and Size.
3. In Position and Size dialog, tick the "Size" check box in "Protect"
section, click OK.

But the side-effect is the object size can not be adjusted in anyother way,
unless uncheck the check box.
