T-FLEX Parametric CAD. Fundamentals. 2D Design

Pictures and OLE Objects
Files can be selected either from the T-FLEX CAD library or just from any folder on the disk.
A picture name can be variable. For this, you shall use a text variable as the picture name.
If the current document (in which the picture is generated) contains internal
pictures, the symbol manifesting the existence of the drop down list will
appear next to the icon of the option . Another method for selection of the
picture source can be picked from the drop down list:
Select Embedded Document
In this case the generated picture will not have the external source file.
The name of the selected/internal document will be shown in the command's
properties window (to the left of the button ).
If the picture is inserted from a library, then the name of the library is
entered in the corner brackets, for example, “Graph
node”. If the library name in the corner brackets is omitted, the
picture is taken from the same library as that in which the drawing is
located.
Grey (not accessible for editing) field, located a little below is informational
and shows the absolute path to the file from which the picture is taken.
Upon picture insertion, as a file with bitmap image, a page being inserted from
the source document can be selected in the command's properties window
(parameter “Displayed Page”).
The fixing method for the inserted picture (by two points or by one point,
angle and a scale) is selected in the dialog box of the properties window
(parameter “Fixing Mode”).
Fixing picture by two points
After choosing the fixing method (parameter “Fixing Mode|2 Points” in the
command's dialog box) it is necessary to successively indicate location of two
fixing points of the generated picture. This can be done with the help of in
the drawing's window or by indicating the exact values of the coordinates in
the command's properties window.
Upon defining fixing points, it is possible to select nodes of the drawing with
the help of the option:
Set relation with Node
When the second fix point has been defined, the creation of the picture is automatically completed.
After defining location of the first fixing point, it is possible to finish creating the picture by pressing (in
the automenu or in the properties window). In this case, location of the second fixing point will be
determined by the system automatically (on the basis of the initial size of the inserted picture).
