Subpictures

The possibility to place information in different groups in a drawing and to perform activities on such groups is an important aid when making the drafting work efficient. In Drafting, it is possible to have these groups in three different levels. These groups of information are referred to as subpictures on level 1, 2 and 3 in all Drafting documentation. In other contexts the names view, subview and component may also be used. By splitting up a drawing in subpictures, the user has the possibility to let the structure of the drawing reflect the reality. Furthermore, during the creation of the drawing, it could be convenient to form subpictures before operations such as transforming, duplicating, Most operations that can be done on geometry can also be done on subpictures.
