Here’s a quick summary of how to produce a scrolling region:

  1. Create a large design.
  2. Create your container design.
  3. Drag and drop your large design onto your container design as a ‘component’.
  4. Double-click the component to edit its properties, as follows:
    • Check the “Maintain size when component changes” option on the Style tab
    • Uncheck “Fixed Width” and “Fixed Height” on the Position tab
    • Set an arbitrary small size to make it easier to work with, say 300 for “Width” and “Height” (Position tab)
    • Hit “OK”
  5. Resize the component to the actual desired size.

That’s it!
