For the control elements in EPLAN's graphical editor, the following applies:
Visible page area
The visible page area is shown in the graphical editor and output when printing or when the page is output as PDF. It is determined depending on whether a page is assigned a plot frame:
- If a page has no plot frame, then all elements located on the page form the visible page area.
- If a page has a plot frame, then only those graphical elements within the plot frame constitute the visible area. Elements outside the plot frame are ignored. Texts are always ignored, since they may extend over the edges of the plot frame.
Cursor
The cursor's form reflects the active command.
Example:For the action "Delete", the cursor has the following form:
Using the keyboard
The cursor can be controlled with the keyboard; the grid is taken into account when doing this. The increment can be set to several levels.
Tooltip
If you move the cursor over an object in the graphical editor (2D or 3D), the object is displayed in a different color. If the cursor hovers above the object, a tooltip displays information on the object. For a component, for instance, the DT and the function definition are displayed.
