DEFINE

Purpose:

To define Envelopes in the current drawing.

Instructions:

In the View menu, click Envelope, then Define.

The subpicture to define as enveloped can be identified in two ways:

• One by one, by user indication

• All level-2 subpictures (subviews) inside a user-defined rectangle

To flip between these alternatives, click Options when about to define the subpictures. A multiple choice dialog containing the alternatives for selection will then show up.

Initially, the system assumes you want to define the subpictures one by one. you are then prompted to indicate subpictures on level 1 or 2 (views or subviews) to define as enveloped.

When defining subpictures all inside a rectangle, you are supposed to define a rectangle (two opposite corners) in the drawing. After confirmation, all level-2 subpictures inside the rectangle will be defined as enveloped.

The definition of envelopes is repeated until you complete by clicking Operation Complete.

Options:

None.

Result:

Subpictures, identified by user, will be defined as enveloped.
