T-FLEX Parametric CAD. Fundamentals. 2D Design

The “Load from file” flag allows reading in an existing diagram saved
in a file (*.tfg). The “Color” and “Background” define the color of
the diagram and its background window. Upon confirming the diagram
parameters, it's pane opens. The ruler on the left side of the diagram
pane represents the scale for the variable values, while the one on the
top side of the diagram pane reflects the time scale. Both scales reflect
the defined range is of the values (the default time interval is from 0 to
60 seconds). At the beginning, the variable diagram is a constant equal
to the current variable value. The user can now add an arbitrary
number of points, defining the variation of the variable values along
the specified time interval.
If the screenplay already has another variable diagram in the window,
then upon selecting a variable, the following option becomes available:
Add Diagram For Selected Variable To Active Window
Animation
The current window is outlined by a frame, whose color is defined by the parameter “Active window color”
per the option:
Change Current Screenplay Name
To select the current window, point the mouse to the desired diagram and click . The option of adding a
variable to the current window allows overlapping several diagrams in one coordinate space. If several
diagrams are present in one window, the last modified diagram is considered selected. Its line is thicker, and
the respective entry is highlighted in the list of a variables. A diagram sharing the window with other
diagrams can be moved to a separate window using the option:
Adding/Modifying Diagram Points
Move Active Diagram Into New Window
As the pointer moves inside the diagram window, its current coordinates are displayed in the lower right
corner. Upon clicking , a new node is created under the pointer position, and is connected by straight
segments with the neighboring points in the diagram. To create a new node dividing an existing segment of
the diagram in the two, point the mouse to the diagram line and select the item “Add Node” from the context
menu.
