- Places a whole drawing using automatic scaling.
-
- 1.* (CHAR) file name to place (1-8 char.)
- 2.* (POINT) first point of target frame, <ENTER>-fill whole sheet
- if a point is entered:
- 3.* (POINT) opposite point of target frame, <ENTER>-new first pt.
-
- Description:
- This command places a whole drawing on the drawing sheet. The drawing
- is scaled automatically to fit into a frame that is allocated for
- it.
-
- Specify the name of the file to be placed. Then specify the first
- and opposite points of the target frame (the frame in which the drawing
- will be placed and fitted). After specifying the first point an elastic
- rectangle (in the original proportions of the file) connects the first
- point and current cursor position so that you can visualize the size
- of the drawing on the sheet. If you regret the position of the first
- point you may press <ENTER> before specifying the opposite
- point. You may then relocate the first point.
-
- The whole of the specified drawing will appear within the target frame
- at a scale determined by the relationship between the size of the
- drawing and the target frame. The drawing will be surrounded by a
- red (color no. 2) broken-lined rectangle.
-
- Alternatively, you may press <ENTER> instead
- of specifying any points for a frame to fit the whole drawing on the
- whole drawing sheet (i.e. the whole drawing sheet behaves as the target
- frame for the drawing). The scale will be determined by the relationship
- between the size of the drawing and the drawing sheet frame.
-
- You may place further drawings until you activate another
- command.
