Pla-files and rearranging positions.

  • Hi. I know that pla-files not belongs to positions - but when you insert stored images (drawings) in PlanCad, they are found under the positions where they are made.


    What happens if you rearrange positions - like deleting positions you no longer need - but maybe you have taken out drawings from these positions???

    What should happpen with this pictures? If you do not delete them they stay in the project folder. In version 8 the pictures too are shown in the project administration program and can be deleted there.

  • I was was just thinking, because when you "insert stored image", they are found under specific positions - so if a position is deleted, under what position they would then be found?

    The images are not stored under a specific position. They are stored in the same directory as the project and if you insert an image all images of the selected directory are shown.

  • I know that the "images" are independent of the positions. But look at attached picture. Here you see drawings that have been made from position 4, 7 & 8. So if I delete position 7, how would this list then in princip look like? I mean the "images" that are listed under position 7, where will they go? I know they won't be deleted, but I am just curious about how it works - where they will then be listed?

    I thought that you are talking about pictures but you are talking about images which will be inserted in D-CAD 2D. They will be listet in the same way because the information about the position is stored inside the image itself.

  • Yeah - I have also always thought that "insert stored image" should have been "insert stored drawing" - that would have been more intuitive.
