Saving of Drawings

Selected views (`drawings') of a model may be saved in the database, and these may be recovered on subsequent occasions. Saved drawings are named by the user and will appear in the Drawing Index. Once they are recovered, the user may continue to work with the model in the normal way, and for example, may apply a rotation, or superimpose a display of results.

Drawings may also be saved to a named plotfile which may then be processed off-line to provide data to drive a plotter device. The user may specify that the plotfile be written in the standard FEMGV neutral format which is given in Appendix E of the User Manual Appendices of this manual, or in Postscript or Interleaf format.
