Text
These options support exchange of text with other text editors. Suppose, for example, that you need to import
a Microsoft Word document into a T-FLEX CAD drawing. To do this, use the “Save as” command in
Microsoft Word and save a copy of the document in the RTF format. Then, in the T-FLEX CAD text editor
open the RTF document using the command “Open file”. Thus, you open a copy of the original Word
document with all the formatting preserved. You can export text in a similar way. Besides, you can carry
over a text from one editor to another by using the clipboard via the commands “Put selection on
Clipboard”, “Paste Clipboard contents”.
The commands for editing paragraph text can be also called from the context menu
by right clicking over an appropriate element:
- “Edit” - calls the command “ET: Edit Text”;
- “Delete” - deletes the selected text;
- “Parameters” - lunches the parameters editing of the selected text;
- “Edit text” (for multiline and paragraph text) - executes the command of
editing the paragraph text in the text contents editing mode;
- “Edit in Dialog” - calls the text editor for editing the contents of the selected
text;
- “Edit Variables” (if variables exist in the selected text) - starts variable
editing mode.
Variable editing mode
To modify the values of the variables inserted in a paragraph text, you do not have to start variable editor.
Modifications can be done directly in the text, which is convenient.
This way of editing variables is applicable only to the variables inserted in the text with the flag
“Editable as field” checked.
To start variable editing mode, simply point the mouse to the inserted variable and click . Besides, this
mode can be invoked from the context menu by right clicking over a paragraph text.
The paragraph text containing the chosen variable will be selected as if in the text contents editing mode.
However, available for editing will be only the variables inserted in the text and flagged as “Editable as
field”.
At this moment, the following icons will appear in the automenu:
