Editing Graphics

The Edit Menu and Button Bar

Each graphical VDA Tool has an Edit menu and a button bar, which contain functions that let you manipulate (for example, cut, copy, and paste) graphical elements.

For detailed information on the Edit menu and button bar, bring up the online Help Contents for the VDA Tool and use the Menus and Button Bar links.

Attributes Dialog Box

Each type of graphical element has attributes associated with it. For example, text attributes include color, font, text size, thickness, angle, coordinate system, and origin.

To edit a graphics object’s attributes, do the following:

1. Select the graphics object.

2. Choose Attributes=>Selected Object. The Attributes dialog box appears.

3. Make changes in the dialog box and click OK or Apply.

note

You can set up default attributes for any graphics object by selecting one of the default attributes commands from the Attributes menu. For example, Attributes=>Line Defaults brings up the Line Attributes dialog box. Once you set the defaults for an object, all subsequent graphics objects will share the same attributes.
