«File|Update Images»
This command allows a user to synchronize the contents of the base document in the main T-FLEX CAD
window and in the print module.
The document print module works in parallel with the main T-FLEX CAD window. This allows a user to
make changes in the base document concurrently in the print module and in the main T-FLEX CAD window.
For example, simultaneously with the print module functioning, via the T-FLEX CAD window of the base
document a user can modify the page settings, picture parameters or modify the documents on the basis of
which the images have been created in the print module. As a result, the situation may arise when the print
module lags behind in tracking down these changes. The command “Update Images of Document” is
intended to resolve these situations. It removes all data on created images and used documents from the print
module, and then restores this data according to the contents of the base document from the T-FLEX CAD
window.
Print Module Options
Options of the print module are specified in the command “Set Editor Options”:

«View|Options…»
This command invokes the dialog “Options”:
The parameters group “Editor” defines general settings for
dealing with the print module:
Show Images. This parameter controls the display of the images
in the preview area of the print module. When the flag is turned
off, only the image bound box is displayed in the preview area.
By default, this flag is turned on.
Offset Step. This parameter defines the offset step for moving
the images selected in the preview area with the help of the
keyboard keys (, , , ). The step size is
specified in page units.
Snap Distance (Pixels):. This parameter defines the maximum
distance in pixels at which the sides of the selected images will
be snapped to the sides of other images on page (horizontally
and/or vertically). This parameter is taken into account when
moving the image with the help of the mouse (recall that the
images can be also moved with the help of the keyboard keys
(, , , ).
Prompt to automatic Image adjustment if it does not fit on Page. This parameter defines the system
response in cases when the image does not fit on the page of the base document (for example, when
adding a large image). When this parameter is turned off, the system automatically moves and scales the
images in such a way that they will fit on the page. When the parameter is on, the prompt about the
necessity of image translation/scaling will be shown.
