Copy Value List . This command copies the list of values of the given dialog field into the clipboard.
Replace Value List . This command replaces the list of values assigned to the given dialog field by the
list of values from the clipboard. The list must be copied to the clipboard in advance using the command
“Copy Value List”.
Spin Bars. This command enables the stepper – the way to modify the parameter in the respective field
using the mouse wheel or the button .
Spin increment… . You can define the parameter value
increment of the stepper. One of the three settings can be
chosen in the spin increment control dialog box: “Default”,
“Value”, “By Value List”.
Value. Set a numeric value of the increment.
By Value List. Setting this option will allow to scroll through
the list of values in the case the list was created for this input
box of the dialog.
Enter Angle… . This command allows converting an
angle value to the decimal format. The command brings up a
dialog box. The respective input boxes of the dialog allow
entering an angle value in degrees, minutes and seconds. This
value will be converted into the decimal format.
Measure. . This command allows reading geometric data from existing drawing elements and using
it for creating new elements. Parametric dependencies can also be introduced between the elements. For
more information, see the chapter “Measuring Elements and Relations between Them”.
Check Spelling. . Checking the spelling of the content of the dialog field, for which the
context menu has been called.
Setting Common Parameters of System Elements
Each T-FLEX CAD system element, whether a construction or a graphic one, has its own set of parameters
that the user can define and modify. In particular, the color, level and layer parameters are present in each set
of parameters. Defining and using these parameters will be described here so not to repeat the description for
each element.
Color
Each element has a color. The parameter dialog includes the input
box “Color:”.
This box shows the color used for displaying the given element of
the model. The color can be changed by selecting from the list.
An element color can also be set using the system toolbar.
Setting colors via the system toolbar is available in creation and
editing commands.
