Hatch Fill and Cross Fill are characterized by line
width, step (distance between lines) and skew angle.
Shape Fill is characterized by the shape, distance between shapes (or
hatch step) and skew angle of lines, along which hatch shapes are placed.
You can set the hatch type in the Inspector.
INFORMATION: A closed vector object (rectangle,
circle, closed polyline) can have the Fill property.
How to fill a closed vector object:
Select a closed vector object and in the Inspector
set Fill to True, after that you can choose
a fill type and properties in the corresponding fields that will appear.
Text
How to enter text:
Choose the
Text command from Draw menu. Texts are entered
from the keyboard. The entered text string is completed by pressing
ENTER.
See section How to set up document properties
for detailed information.
You can also edit text parameters in the Inspector or the Font
dialog.
 |
You can open the Font dialog by pressing the  button,
which appears if you click in the Text Font
field of the Inspector. |
Multiline Text
You can create, import and save multiline texts.
How to create multiline text:
Choose the Multiline Text command from the Draw
menu. Enter text in the window. Press OK. Insert the text in the document
by specifying the insertion point.
See section Vector Object Properties for information on setting
Multiline text properties.
How to import multiline text:
Press Load 
of the Edit multiline text window. Select and open the
*.txt text file. Specify an insertion point for this text in the document
on the screen or in the Base Point field of the Inspector.
How to export multiline text:
Choose Multiline Text. Open the Edit multiline text
dialog. Press the Save  button.
Dimension
 |
With WiseImage you can create the following dimensions: linear
- vertical, horizontal and aligned; angular, radial and diametral. |
You can create a dimension object to specify distance
and angle, radius and diameter of vector and raster objects.
How to create dimensions:
Method 1
- Select an object to create dimension.
See section Selections for detailed
information.
- Choose a corresponding button on the Dimension toolbar.
- You can tune the dimension parameters in the Inspector
- while rubber line for specifying dimension position is displayed.
- Specify the dimension position on the screen by left-mouse click.
- If needed, edit the position of dimension lines and text using grips.
Method 2
You can
use this method to specify all dimensions except angular dimensions
between two lines.
- Choose the corresponding button from the Dimension
toolbar.
Then:
| For Dimension: |
Specify on screen
by click: |
|
Specify on screen by click: |
| Linear - Vertical, Horizontal and Aligned |
Two points to measure distance between them |
Edit parameters in the Inspector toolbar |
Dimension line position |
| Angular |
Vertex angle and its two sides |
Angle - outer or inner and dimension arc position |
| Radial and Diametral |
Arc center or circle center |
Point on the arc (circle) |
IMPORTANT: When specifying points you can use object
snap to raster and vector objects.
See section Object Snap
for detailed information.
- If needed, edit the position of dimension lines and text by using
the grip.
Blocks
Block - is a named group of vector objects (block definition).
Unlimited number of blocks can be inserted in the document.
When inserting, you can rotate a block and change its scale.
Program supports unlimited block nesting (a block can not include itself).
When exploded, the block is broken into its component objects.
If you want to change all block insertion in the document, create a
new block definition with the same name.
How to create block:
- Open the Inspector toolbar.
- Select vector objects.
See section Object selection methods of vector
and raster data for detailed information.
- Choose Create Block from the Draw
menu.
- Enter a name for the block in the Block Name field of the Inspector.
- Enter the insertion point coordinates in the Base Point
field or specify it on the screen.
How to insert block?
- Choose Block from the Insert menu.
- Open the Inspector. Choose the block name from Block Name
list of the Inspector.
- Enter the insertion point coordinates in the Base Point
field or specify them on the screen.
User Markers
You can create your own markers, which will be placed on the endpoints
of such vector objects as lines, arcs and polylines.
How to create a new marker:
- Draw a marker of the desired shape. You can fill it with solid floodfill.
- Select the marker's elements.
- Choose the Create Marker command from the Tools
menu.
- Press the button
in the open dialog box and specify a point to connect the marker to
the line.
- Specify a name for the marker and save it by pressing Save
or Save As button.
- The created marker appears in the lists of Start Marker
and End Marker of the Inspector.
It can be assigned to selected or created vector objects.
Shapes for floodfilling
You can create your own shape to floodfill closed vector objects or
Hatch objects.
How to create a symbol for
floodfilling:
- Draw a shape for floodfilling. You can use solid floodfill to fill
it.
- Select the shape.
- Choose the Create Fill Shape command from
the Tools menu.
- Save the shape with name using Save or Save As
button.
- The created shape appears in the Hatch Shape
of the Inspector. You can select it from the list when
creating hatch or Shape Fill.
Raster Drawing Mode
The Raster drawing mode enables you to draw raster
representations of vector objects.
 |
To turn on the raster drawing mode choose the RDRAW button, located
in the right-lower screen corner. |
IMPORTANT: There should be a raster image
under the objects that you draw in raster drawing mode; otherwise the
created objects will disappear.
