Image Format. Defines the preview file format. A format can be selected
from the list: T-FLEX CAD Metafile (BMF), Windows Bitmap (BMP)
– 2D, Windows Bitmap (BMP) – 3D.
Bitmap Width and Height. These parameters define the sizes, in pixels, of the bitmap image.
The second group – “Icon” defines parameters for creating the icons of the document. The document icons
will appear in all places where the display of the document icon is foreseen (on the tab of the document upon
its opening in the T-FLEX CAD, in the model menu, etc.).
Save. Defines the icon saving mode. This parameter can assume the following
values:
None. The icon is not saved. In this case, an earlier saved icon will remain with
the file (if any).
To check existence of a icon in the file, see document properties on the “Preview” tab.
Auto – 2D. A icon with the 2D image is saved automatically on each document save.
Auto – 3D. This icon with the image of the 3D model will be saved automatically each time the document
is saved.
Manually. In this mode, the icon can be created manually using the command “PV: Save Preview”
(“Tools|Special Data|Preview”). Unless using the latter command, this setting is equivalent to “None”.
Size. Defines the size of the icon. The size can be selected from the list, as follows: Maximize Image, By
paper.
“Symbols” Tab
Font Name. This parameter defines the font for special
symbols used in T-FLEX CAD.
Code for diameter. Defines the symbol to substitute
instead of the "%%c” key in text strings on the drawing.
Default is the diameter symbol code, which is 066.
Code for degree. Defines the symbol to substitute
instead of the "%%d” key in text strings on the drawing.
Default is the degree symbol code, which is 119.
Code for plus/minus. Defines the symbol to substitute
instead of the "%%p” key in text strings on the drawing.
Default is the plus/minus symbol code, which is 116.
When changing the font, a new symbol code can be
defined manually by typing the appropriate value or by
selecting a symbol from the menu “Insert Symbol” after
pressing the button [Select]. When selecting a
symbol from the table, the symbol code is entered
automatically.
