An arbitrary change in the page arrangement can be carried out just by dragging the page tab to another
place. To do it, bring the cursor to the required tab, press and without releasing the mouse button, drag the
cursor to the required position in the list of tabs.
Let's talk more about the context menu for the page tabs. With the help of the command “Font…” it is
possible to modify font parameters used for displaying the text on the page tabs. Upon calling this command
the standard window of font parameters opens up.
The command “Delete” allows removing the page on the tab of which the context menu has been called. If
the page being removed contains some drawings, the system will inform about that and ask a user to confirm
the necessity of page removal and all its contents.
The command “Pages…” invokes the dialog for controlling pages of the document. This dialog allows
performing all possible operations with pages: create and delete pages, rename, change the type of page and
its location in the list of pages. We will tell more about working with this dialog in the section “Working
with Dialog «Pages»” below.
The last command of the context menu – “Hide Page Tabs” – turns off the display of the page tabs for the
document. After the tabs were turned off, it is possible to turn the display of the page tabs back on with the
help of the flag “Customize|Tool Windows|Page Tabs”.
Creating New Pages
Additional pages can be created in a T-FLEX CAD document by the following means:
1. Using the key. When created, such pages are automatically assigned the type
“Normal”.
2. Via the help of the command “New Page” in the context menu of the page tabs;
3. Via the command “PG: Pages” (see the section “Working with Dialog «Pages»”);
4. Automatically while working in the certain commands. The type of a thus created page depends on the
actual command. For example, the “TR: Create Control” command allows creating a page of the
type “Controls”, while the command “SD: Create Darwing View”– a page of “Auxiliary” type. The
command “3W: Construct Workplane” creates pages of the type “Workplane”, while “Normal”
type pages are created under “BC: Create Bill of Materials” and “BM: Bills of Materials”.
