Output library as graphics

The contents of the current library can be displayed as graphics and semi-automatically. After invoking this function, you will be asked whether a selection text which is present in the symbol should be displayed.

To set up an overview of a library, proceed as follows.

Create an empty (better several of the same) drawing page (New file), possible with a drawing frame. Copy this page (Copy page), since there will probably not be enough room on one page for all of the symbols of the library. Select the function Output library as graphics.

Select the first symbol to be displayed from the selection window and position it. The symbol name is automatically made visible and positioned above the symbol. The rotation menu can still be invoked beforehand by pressing the right mouse button (e.g. in order to position the symbol name differently).

Fix the symbol. The next symbol in the selection list is then immediately loaded automatically – position it accordingly.

When your drawing page is full, enter the rotation menu with the right mouse button and terminate the process with Cancel+Delete. For example, use the PgUp PgDn keys to move to the next empty page and restart the output. You can start at exactly the place where you left off.

Once the end of the library has been reached, the loading process is terminated automatically. In the Rotation menu, automatic loading can be terminated manually with Cancel+Delete.

Note

This function can also be used to create a template for the selected graphics symbols. In which case, the selection should not displayed.
