Regenerating the picture

When a picture is inserted into the Picture gallery, it is created from the current project data. It may however happen that any time later the project must be changed (e.g. some 1D members are moved, some cross-sections enlarged, etc.). The Picture gallery is fitted with a function that is able to match the picture with the current project data.

The procedure for regeneration of selected picture

  1. Open the Picture gallery manager.
  2. In the List of defined pictures select the particular picture that should be updated.
  3. Click button [Regenerate picture] (image\Gro_Pict_gal_regenerate.gif). The picture is regenerated using the current project data and settings.
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as many times as required.
  5. Close the Picture gallery manager.

 

If the picture has been edited in the Gallery item editor and any structural entities (scanned from the graphical window) have been removed from the picture or broken into single lines, they are regenerated in the form that fully corresponds with the current state in the graphical window of the application.

If a set of pictures has been generated using the Wizard "overview drawings" and if any of the generated pictures has been modified and if function Regenerate has been applied to this set, the program asks whether the manual changes made in the automatically generated pictures should be (i) preserved, (ii) discarded or (iii) whether the whole operation should be aborted.
