Each T-FLEX CAD drawing has its own settings. These settings include a variety of definitions of both general nature and specific to particular elements. Examples of the former include setting drawing boundaries and scale, while the latter – dimension standards, line thickness, etc. These settings can be defined not only at the beginning, but also at any moment while working on a drawing. All settings are saved with the drawing. IN the case of multi-page document, settings can be defined separately for each page. When creating a new page, its settings are copied from the currently active page.
One can create a prototype drawing with its specific settings. To do so, use the command File > Save as Prototype… The prototype file will be saved in the folder “…\AppData\Local\Top Systems\T-FLEX CAD 3D 15 x64\Eng\Templates” (see "Getting Started"). To create a new drawing with the settings as in a prototype, use the command File > New From Prototype. The desired prototype file can be selected from the list (multiple prototype files can be created.)
Any T-FLEX CAD document can be used as a prototype. Initially, the system is shipped with several prototype drawings “*.GRB”. These are located in the system folder (…\Program\Template). Their settings comply with several drawing standards. Depending on the choice of the particular drawing standard, new drawings created via File > New will assume all settings from the respective prototype. The name of the prototype drawing can be redefined using the command SO: Set System Options, on the Files tab.
