Importing Symbols

The Import symbol function allows for importing dxf / dwg files into the workdesk.

  1. Select the Insert > Import symbol menu items or the button on the toolbar.

    A file selection dialog is opened.
  2. Browse to the desired dxf / dwg file and click [Open].

    The file selection dialog is closed and the import process started.
  3. Left-click to specify the left-hand bottom corner of the symbol or specify its coordinates in the command bar.
  4. Determine the Width or Height value of the symbol in the command bar and press [Enter] to place it.

    Note:

    The dxf / dwg file has a locked aspect ratio. If you specify the Width value in the command bar, the Height value changes accordingly and vice versa.

  5. Or drag the mouse and left-click to place the symbol.
  6. In the properties panel, use the Name field to determine the name of the file to be displayed in the tree view.
  7. Use the Width or Height field to subsequently change the size of the dxf / dwg file.
  8. Use the Position, Rotation and Scale fields to determine the corresponding properties of the dxf / dwg file.
