ABOUT OUR TRAINING
The training course is based on a series of practical exercises correspond to how
you are going to use the system. The exercises will allow you to gradually
discover the completeness of the graphics editor's functions. Progress will
depend on complexity, but also on how often you use the tools.The exercises
proposed are detailed so that you can reproduce them alone after your training
course, preferably on the diagrams you will have to prepare.
1. Introduction
Software published by Algo'Tech use a common graphics kernel. This graphics
editor is a powerful vector CAD software system (Elec'View).This graphics
kernel is supplemented by many specialist modules, which may relate to
different applications (design offices, maintenance departments, etc.). Not all
users have the same needs which is why these modules are optional.After
creating your electrical diagram, you can apply automatic processes
(paging,cover page, numbering, terminal blocks), wiring processing, terminal
block processing, nomenclature thanks to the CAD Kernel modules.The diagram
recognition module(Scan'Builder) allows you to retrieve, update and modify
paper diagrams in electronic format.Auto’Fil automatically generates your
electrical diagrams (power part) from an EXCEL worksheet.
PackElecBuilder is fully-fledged electrical diagram software. It allows you to:
 create
 update
 edit
your electrical diagram folders.
Once you have created your block diagrams, you can apply a few automatic
Processes:
 Cross-references (masters, slaves, etc.)
 pagination (automatic folio numbering)
 terminal blocks (automatic generation of terminal blocks)
 wiring (automatic wire numbering, setting the numbering, etc.)
 nomenclatures (giving equipment references from a constructor's list)
 layout (physical layout of components)
UNDERSTANDING THE VOCABULARY OF THE SOFTWARE
A bit of vocabulary is necessary to understand the documentation and how to use
the software.When working in Elec'View, you are drawing on a worksheet
located in a workbook. Each worksheet can be selected by its tab.In fact:-A
workbook is a file in which you work and store your data. The file may be
present on your computer's hard disk or on the hard disk of one of the computers
in the network. It contains a certain number of worksheets that contain graphic
objects.
Graphics interface
The Elec'View screen is divided into seven distinct areas:
1. Title bar: located at the top of the main window, it displays the name of the
open workbook.
2. Drop-down menus: located in the upper part of the window, they contain the
different options, actions and commands that you can use in the software system.
3. Status bar: located at the bottom of the window, it provides information on the
common commands and objects in the workbooks.
4. Tool bars: located under the drop-down menus and on the left side of the
window, they contain buttons that you can use as short cuts for common
commands.
5. Worksheet tabs: located at the bottom of the workbook window, they display
the names of the worksheets and allow you to change worksheets.
6. Drawing area: this corresponds to the inside of the worksheets in the
workbook currently in use.
7. Rulers: located on the top and the left of the drawing area, they are
measurement guides.
8. The palette lets you place symbols in the diagram.
Graphics preferences
Graphics preferences let you define the parameters of the system's graphics. To
open the graphics preferences:
Click on the Tools / Preferences / Graphics menu.
Or
Use the CTRL + G keyboard shortcut.
You will reach the Options window, where you can define the parameters of
your graphics interface. We will cover the preferences in more detail during the
training course
CAD KERNEL PART (ELEC'VIEW)
We are going to create a first workbook to contain the following diagram
Creating a new workbook
To start the system:
1. Click the start icon. Or
2. Click on "Start / Programs / Algotech / PackElecBuilder"
By default, the software will start with a blank window. This window will
contain the workbook. In the top left corner, you can open the drop-down menus.
Warning: Do not confuse:
The "File / New" command, which lets you create any new workbook, for
example a "library";
And "New workbook", which is the command for "electrical folder"
workbooks and lets you, associate a work environment with the file.
To create a new "electrical folder" workbook:
1. Click the GREEN "New workbook" button.
2. The standard Windows file creation window is displayed.
3. Browse the hard disk or network tree structure until you open the work
directory
4. Check that the file type filter is set to "*.ELE".
5. 5. Enter a new file name.
6. Click "Save".A worksheet creation window is displayed.
8. Check "Automatic creation": automatic creation lets you create a series of
worksheets with names that share the same root and are in sequence.Automatic
creation is the easiest and quickest solution for creating worksheets in an
electrical workbook.
9. Number of creations: the number of worksheets you want to create.
10. Root: the worksheet name of all the worksheets created will begin with this
name, followed by the number of digits to be added after the root (by default,F_
is the proposed root).
11. Number of digits: the amount of numbers that will be added to the worksheet
name after the root.
12. Check the format by clicking the button.
13. Click on "OK".
14. A window is displayed for defining your work standard.The standard is the
symbols library you want to associate to your workbook.The standard is located
in the following directory: C:ProgramFilesAlgotechPackElecBuilderNormes
15. Confirm with OK. The standard is then copied into the directory in which
you created your workbook.
Create a workbook called monday.ele in the C:Stage ElecView directory with
3 A3 folios and associate it to the elec.view3 standard.
Using the palette
Using the palette will make it easier to put diagram elements in place.A palette
is a collection of buttons that represent figures (symbols for example) that you
can place in your diagrams.Some buttons can be selections of tools (a pen to
draw electric wires for example).You can create and use several palettes. During
installation, the system is parameterised to load a default palette.We will see
how you can parameterise and create your own palette later in the
Administration section.
Displaying the palette.
To display the default palette on the screen:
1. Click the "Display a worksheet..." button. The "Display" window appears
2. The palette takes a fixed position and opens at the side of the window.
To use one of the palette buttons:
1. Click on the button.
2. For symbols, move the cursor into the drawing area.
3. The selected symbol is attached to the cursor.
4. Click where you want to place the symbol.
Placing a symbol.
Reminders: The symbol selected in the palette is attached to the cursor. Click
where you want to place the symbol.Symbols need information when you place
them in the drawing area. This information is linked to the symbol itself.
For example: a motor needs a name, values for its power, its denomination, etc.
Information linked to a symbol is displayed as an "Inspector" window. The first
method for providing the information is to fill out the inspector window.
To capture the objects that are completely enclosed:Make a window from
top to bottom.Result: only the objects completely enclosed are
To capture touched objects:
To capture touched objects:
Make a window from bottom to top.
Result: all the objects touched are selected.
Example:
Adding (or removing) objects from the selection:
There is an easy way to group together several objects that are fairly distant or to
modify an existing selection.
1. Use a window to take an object or several objects.
2. Click on an object to be added to the selection while pressing [Shift].
3. Click on an object to be removed from the selection while pressing [Shift].
End Point
Drawing an electric wire
Representing electric wires is another important part of the diagram.In
PackElecBuilder, you can represent the potentials of your installations
differently.
Several pens have already been parameterised by default:
For example, the "Power" pen is red and thick, the "Command" pen is red and
fine, the "Neutral" pen is fine and blue, etc.
Choosing a pen to draw an electric wire
There are several ways to choose a pen for drawing an electric wire. The easiest
way
is the following:
1. In the palette, click on "Tools".
2. Click on "pen" to display the family.
3. Click on the button that corresponds to the potential you want to represent.
Choosing a grid.
It is very important to draw the diagram with a magnetic grid. Elec'View can
process diagrams created without it, but it will be very difficult for operators
who have to manage the diagram.
It is easy. You just need to click on one of the grid size buttons in the palette
before drawing a line or performing a graphics operation.
1. In the palette, click on "Tools".
2. Click on "Grid" to display the family.
3. Click on the button that corresponds to the
setting you
When you create an electrical diagram, we recommend that you use a grid
.
Cancelling or repeating a command
You can make manipulation mistakes even though Algo'Tech software systems
are
easy to use.
Cancelling one or more commands that you have executed means you won't lose
your work.
Cancelling (undoing) one or more commands
1. Click on the "Undo" button.
2. Check the result in the drawing area.
3. If necessary, click on the "Undo" button again to go back another step.

Generate the diagram from EXCEL.
Auto’Fil generates single-wire or multi-wire diagrams from EXCEL.The
information from the cabinet or the electrical installation is entered in a pre-
defined and customisable table, as if you were performing a cabinet survey in the
field.Once the Excel table has been completed, Auto’Fil automatically uses
computer-assisted drawing to generate the diagrams related to your entries.
This working method offers numerous advantages:
Automatic drawing of diagrams.
Extremely quick creation, thanks to Excel Nothing forgotten at the time of
entry.
No requirement for knowledge of electrical diagrams to complete the EXCEL
table on the computer.
The important columns
The column “Power supply”:
In this column, you can specify the type of electricity supply that you wish to
use.
Under PackElecBuilder in the "?" menu, you have access to the documentation.
In this documentation, there is a file entitled Composants AutoFil.PDF. This
document will give you
a graphical display of the components that can be used under Auto’Fil.
To complete the line of the column “Power Supply” :
1. Click on the cell of the original column;
2. Consult the "Auto’Fil components" document;
3. Enter the name of the component on the keyboard or use the drop-down list;

LEARN THE OPERATIONS PERFORMED BY SCAN’BUILDER
Scan’Builder is a program within Elec’View that lets you:
Digitalise a diagram and/or open an image file resulting from a scanning
operation.Filter a digitised diagram Analyse the image .Recognise texts and
symbols .Export the diagram to computer-assisted drawing.Two versions of
Scan’Builder, with the potential for additional facilities, are sold:
28 SEE THE SUCCESSIVE STAGES IN PROCESSING A PAPER
DIAGRAM.
To be able to use a diagram that only exists on paper, you must go via several
stages of varying degrees of automation.
This automation of stages is up to you and will depend:
On the state of the diagram on paper.
On the performance of the PC.
On the version that you have.
On the desired result.
29.1 Launch Elec’View (PackElecBuilder).
We will not explain Elec’View in this part of the course material.
See the chapter Creating a new workbook at the beginning of this course
material
(computer-assisted drawing part) on creating a workbook.
29.2 Launch Scan’Builder.
Once your workbook is created, you can open the Scan’Builder module by
clicking on
Button or by launching the command Tools/Scan’Builder
To launch Scan’Builder:

8. Click on the Open button.
30.3 Process the image (rotation, scaling).
The digital image is rarely of a perfect scale and orientation. Scan’Builder has
tools that let you manually correct the main faults in angle and scale
Turn the image.
It is very often impossible to scan an image with a perfect wire orientation (0° or
90°).
Also the image, which is most often scanned vertically, will have to be re-
orientated.
To turn the image through 90°:
Click on the left 90° Rotation button to rotate the image through 90°
anticlockwise (in the trigonometry sense). Or
Click on the right 90° Rotation button to rotate t he image through 90°
clockwise (in the trigonometry sense).
30.3.2 Measure the inclination
To pre-orient the wires at 0° (the protractor):
1. Zoom the image in or out so that the entire length of a wire can be seen, to
improve the precision of the angle.
(You can also use an edge of the insert.)
2. Click on the button "Angle".
3. Click one end of a wire (or one side of the inset).
4. Click on the other end of the wire (or side of the inset), having the measuring
segment (blue) coincide with it.
5. A window is displayed with the observed straightening value.
6. Click on the button "Recover the image".
Note:
1. Button to reduce/expand the window.
2. Button to adjust the thickness of lines.
3. Button to adjust the small dots filter.
4. Button to apply the automatic filter to an image.
5. Cursor to adjust the sensitivity threshold.
Using the automatic filter.
To use the automatic filter:
1. Click the "automatic filter" button.
2. The automatic filter window appears.
3. You may wish to adjust the size of the window.
4. Move the window onto the most notable parts of the diagram.
(Perform zoom operations to check the potential results of the automatic filter).
5. You may need to adjust the sensitivity threshold.
6. Click on the "Apply" button.
ANALYSE THE FILTERED IMAGE.
The filtered image is now ready for an analysis, meaning that you can request the
software to disassociate, on the image, the components of the diagram (the
equipotentials, the symbols, the texts, etc.).
This disassociation is done on specialised layers that can be recognised, with the
same colour as the objects that are assigned to them: (Default colours that can be
changed).
Blue: inset.
Green: symbols.
Blue: texts and inclined texts.
Red: equipotentials.
Black: segments, dots and grids.
Yellow: bitmaps.
Grey: deleted elements.
The detail of this analysis can be adjusted through its parameters. Two
procedures The detail of this analysis can be adjusted through its parameters.
Two procedures can be used according to the state of the filtered
diagram:Automatic analysis followed by corrections in manual mode.Analysis
(manual), which may or may not be followed by manual corrections. A
C
1. Click on the Create a model button;
2. Perform extractions (texts, symbols, etc.), making use of the procedures
described above
33 EXPORT THE IMAGE ANALYSED INTO COMPUTER-ASSISTED
DRAWING AND MODIFY IT.
As soon as the diagram has been analysed, you can export it into the
computerassisted drawing part of the software. (LIGHT version.)
After export, it is possible to use all the functions of computer-assisted drawing
(Elec’View) to modify, move, delete, print, etc., the diagram.
33.1 Export the image to computer-assisted drawing
Reminder: Only diagrams in the format "*.sbr" (analysed or recognised) may be
exported to computer-assisted drawing.
To export the analysed image to computer-assisted drawing:
1. Click on the menu "File", then "Computer-assisted drawing", then "Export to
computer-assisted drawing".
or
34.2 Modifying a text.
Reminder: The texts are imported in their analysis colour (blue).The texts
imported in the Light version are independent bitmap blocks. They can therefore
be moved, copied and deleted like any other object in the diagram. If you wish to
modify the input, this RLE block will be replaced by a Windows text block. This
text block will be composed of characters sized so that the dimensions of the
new vector-graphics object are identical to the original RLE block.
To modify a text:
1. Double-click on an imported text (blue object).
2. The text entry window appears.
3. Enter the new text.
4. Click on the OK button.
Separate the parts of an element.
It may be useful to separate the parts of an element to have them available
individually.
Example: The various letters in an incorrectly laid out sentence.
To separate the parts of an element:
1. Check that the "Selection mode" button is pressed, or click the "Selection
mode" button to press it in.
2. Click on the object to explode;
3. Click on the "Disassociate the selection" button or right-click and use the
context menu.
Reproduce an analysis correction.
The analysis corrections may be repetitive.
Example: Relocating several texts pasted on the wires of the "symbol" layer
towards
the "text" layer.
To save time, Scan’Builder lets you automatically reproduce, on several objects,
the
correction operations carried out on a first object.
To reproduce an analysis correction:
1. Carry out one of the analysis operations that were described in the preceding
paragraphs.
2. Click on the button "Reproduce the formatting".
Use on the whole image.
To apply a filter to a whole image:
1. Do not check the "multi-windows" indicator to obtain the results in a new
window,or check the "multi-windows" indicator to obtain the result in the active
window.
2. Do not press in the "test filter" button.If you request the result in a new
window, you will almost certainly have a cascade of windows because each new
application of a filter will create another one.
You can use the window menu to move, to the foreground, the state of the
drawing
that you think is most viable
"Thresholding" an image.
On certain images that are particularly deteriorated, you may have to apply
threshold filters by zone. (Review this chapter).
To "threshold" an image:
1. Click on the "Threshold" button.
2. The Threshold window opens.
3. Choose the value of the threshold using the Threshold indicator or by directly
typing the value in the Threshold field.
4. Place the cursor on the image, then click on the left mouse button to launch
the
Using the "Small dots" filter.
This filter lets you eliminate unwanted small stains (small dots) that may be
present on your diagrams. These dots are often present after thresholding on
damaged images.
During use, you define the number of dots in the clusters to be eliminated.
Example:
If you give "1" as a value, the software will delete single black dots surrounded
by
white dots.
If you give "10" as a value, the software will delete clusters including a
maximum of
10 black dots surrounded by white dots.
Original image
Image filtered at "1 dot"
Image filtered at "5 dots"
Image filtered at "10 dots"
Recommendation: To define the value of the number of small dots to delete:
Zoom deeply on the zones of your diagrams to be eliminated until a grid
appears.
Then estimate the number of dots that are clustered together.
Enter a value that is slightly higher in the "Small dots" field. Begin with a low
value.
Continue, gradually increasing the value.

the opertaion 0n the intire or part of it.(see above)
5. Using the "Whites" filter.
This can plug the small holes that may be present on shapes on the diagram.
These small holes can be produced following thresholding due to the
disappearance of certain pixels in the objects. This operation will give a
smoother and thicker appearance to the entire diagram.
Using
the "Junctions" filter. This filter can cut elements that are stuck together by a
pixel. For example, it can cut letters that are stuck .
Using the "Median" filter
The median filter acts on the zones of the image presenting protrusions around
the
outline. These are eroded to a greater or lesser extent according to the number of
passages.
In the case where a protrusion connects 2 zones, these will be separated.
(Behaviour
similar to that of the "junction" filter)
To use the "Median" filter
1. Click on the Filters/Others menu.
2. Click on "Median"
3. Place the cursor on the image, then click on the left mouse button to launch
the
operation on the entire image or on part of it.

ABOUT OUR TRAINING The training course is based on a series of practical exercises correspond to how
  • 7. you are going to use the system. The exercises will allow you to gradually discover the completeness of the graphics editor's functions. Progress will depend on complexity, but also on how often you use the tools.The exercises proposed are detailed so that you can reproduce them alone after your training course, preferably on the diagrams you will have to prepare. 1. Introduction Software published by Algo'Tech use a common graphics kernel. This graphics editor is a powerful vector CAD software system (Elec'View).This graphics kernel is supplemented by many specialist modules, which may relate to different applications (design offices, maintenance departments, etc.). Not all users have the same needs which is why these modules are optional.After creating your electrical diagram, you can apply automatic processes (paging,cover page, numbering, terminal blocks), wiring processing, terminal block processing, nomenclature thanks to the CAD Kernel modules.The diagram recognition module(Scan'Builder) allows you to retrieve, update and modify paper diagrams in electronic format.Auto’Fil automatically generates your electrical diagrams (power part) from an EXCEL worksheet. PackElecBuilder is fully-fledged electrical diagram software. It allows you to:  create  update
  • 8.  edit your electrical diagram folders. Once you have created your block diagrams, you can apply a few automatic Processes:  Cross-references (masters, slaves, etc.)  pagination (automatic folio numbering)  terminal blocks (automatic generation of terminal blocks)  wiring (automatic wire numbering, setting the numbering, etc.)  nomenclatures (giving equipment references from a constructor's list)  layout (physical layout of components)
  • 9.
  • 10. UNDERSTANDING THE VOCABULARY OF THE SOFTWARE A bit of vocabulary is necessary to understand the documentation and how to use the software.When working in Elec'View, you are drawing on a worksheet located in a workbook. Each worksheet can be selected by its tab.In fact:-A workbook is a file in which you work and store your data. The file may be present on your computer's hard disk or on the hard disk of one of the computers in the network. It contains a certain number of worksheets that contain graphic objects. Graphics interface The Elec'View screen is divided into seven distinct areas: 1. Title bar: located at the top of the main window, it displays the name of the open workbook. 2. Drop-down menus: located in the upper part of the window, they contain the
  • 11. different options, actions and commands that you can use in the software system. 3. Status bar: located at the bottom of the window, it provides information on the common commands and objects in the workbooks. 4. Tool bars: located under the drop-down menus and on the left side of the window, they contain buttons that you can use as short cuts for common commands. 5. Worksheet tabs: located at the bottom of the workbook window, they display the names of the worksheets and allow you to change worksheets. 6. Drawing area: this corresponds to the inside of the worksheets in the workbook currently in use. 7. Rulers: located on the top and the left of the drawing area, they are measurement guides. 8. The palette lets you place symbols in the diagram. Graphics preferences Graphics preferences let you define the parameters of the system's graphics. To open the graphics preferences: Click on the Tools / Preferences / Graphics menu.
  • 12. Or Use the CTRL + G keyboard shortcut. You will reach the Options window, where you can define the parameters of your graphics interface. We will cover the preferences in more detail during the training course CAD KERNEL PART (ELEC'VIEW) We are going to create a first workbook to contain the following diagram Creating a new workbook To start the system: 1. Click the start icon. Or 2. Click on "Start / Programs / Algotech / PackElecBuilder" By default, the software will start with a blank window. This window will contain the workbook. In the top left corner, you can open the drop-down menus. Warning: Do not confuse: The "File / New" command, which lets you create any new workbook, for example a "library";
  • 13. And "New workbook", which is the command for "electrical folder" workbooks and lets you, associate a work environment with the file. To create a new "electrical folder" workbook: 1. Click the GREEN "New workbook" button. 2. The standard Windows file creation window is displayed. 3. Browse the hard disk or network tree structure until you open the work directory 4. Check that the file type filter is set to "*.ELE". 5. 5. Enter a new file name. 6. Click "Save".A worksheet creation window is displayed. 8. Check "Automatic creation": automatic creation lets you create a series of worksheets with names that share the same root and are in sequence.Automatic creation is the easiest and quickest solution for creating worksheets in an electrical workbook. 9. Number of creations: the number of worksheets you want to create.
  • 14. 10. Root: the worksheet name of all the worksheets created will begin with this name, followed by the number of digits to be added after the root (by default,F_ is the proposed root). 11. Number of digits: the amount of numbers that will be added to the worksheet name after the root. 12. Check the format by clicking the button. 13. Click on "OK". 14. A window is displayed for defining your work standard.The standard is the symbols library you want to associate to your workbook.The standard is located in the following directory: C:ProgramFilesAlgotechPackElecBuilderNormes 15. Confirm with OK. The standard is then copied into the directory in which you created your workbook. Create a workbook called monday.ele in the C:Stage ElecView directory with 3 A3 folios and associate it to the elec.view3 standard. Using the palette Using the palette will make it easier to put diagram elements in place.A palette is a collection of buttons that represent figures (symbols for example) that you can place in your diagrams.Some buttons can be selections of tools (a pen to draw electric wires for example).You can create and use several palettes. During installation, the system is parameterised to load a default palette.We will see how you can parameterise and create your own palette later in the Administration section. Displaying the palette. To display the default palette on the screen: 1. Click the "Display a worksheet..." button. The "Display" window appears 2. The palette takes a fixed position and opens at the side of the window. To use one of the palette buttons:
  • 15. 1. Click on the button. 2. For symbols, move the cursor into the drawing area. 3. The selected symbol is attached to the cursor. 4. Click where you want to place the symbol. Placing a symbol. Reminders: The symbol selected in the palette is attached to the cursor. Click where you want to place the symbol.Symbols need information when you place them in the drawing area. This information is linked to the symbol itself. For example: a motor needs a name, values for its power, its denomination, etc. Information linked to a symbol is displayed as an "Inspector" window. The first method for providing the information is to fill out the inspector window. To capture the objects that are completely enclosed:Make a window from top to bottom.Result: only the objects completely enclosed are
  • 16. To capture touched objects: To capture touched objects: Make a window from bottom to top. Result: all the objects touched are selected. Example: Adding (or removing) objects from the selection: There is an easy way to group together several objects that are fairly distant or to modify an existing selection. 1. Use a window to take an object or several objects. 2. Click on an object to be added to the selection while pressing [Shift]. 3. Click on an object to be removed from the selection while pressing [Shift].
  • 17. End Point Drawing an electric wire Representing electric wires is another important part of the diagram.In PackElecBuilder, you can represent the potentials of your installations differently. Several pens have already been parameterised by default: For example, the "Power" pen is red and thick, the "Command" pen is red and fine, the "Neutral" pen is fine and blue, etc. Choosing a pen to draw an electric wire There are several ways to choose a pen for drawing an electric wire. The easiest way is the following: 1. In the palette, click on "Tools". 2. Click on "pen" to display the family. 3. Click on the button that corresponds to the potential you want to represent.
  • 18. Choosing a grid. It is very important to draw the diagram with a magnetic grid. Elec'View can process diagrams created without it, but it will be very difficult for operators who have to manage the diagram. It is easy. You just need to click on one of the grid size buttons in the palette before drawing a line or performing a graphics operation. 1. In the palette, click on "Tools". 2. Click on "Grid" to display the family. 3. Click on the button that corresponds to the setting you When you create an electrical diagram, we recommend that you use a grid . Cancelling or repeating a command You can make manipulation mistakes even though Algo'Tech software systems are easy to use. Cancelling one or more commands that you have executed means you won't lose your work. Cancelling (undoing) one or more commands
  • 19. 1. Click on the "Undo" button. 2. Check the result in the drawing area. 3. If necessary, click on the "Undo" button again to go back another step. 4. Check the result in the drawing area. Keyboard shortcut: [Ctrl] + [Z] Repeating one or more commands. Similar to the cancel operation, but using the "redo" command. Keyboard shortcut: [Ctrl] + [Y] Copying a symbol There are several ways to copy symbols: The "Copy" functions. The "Copy and parameterise" function. Copying a symbol ("Copy" function) This function is recommended for basic objects and symbols you want to copy without modifying the texts.
  • 20. For example: drawing in several areas Method 1 1. Click on the "Take" tool. 2. Click on the object you want to copy. 3. Right-click and a contextual menu is displayed. 4. In the contextual menu, click on "Copy-Paste objects". 5. Move the cursor to the new object's position. 6. Click to set the copy. Method 2: using the toolbar Method 3: [Ctrl] + left-click Method 4: using a keyboard shortcut [C] Copying and parameterising a symbol ("Copy and parameter"function) Use this function on any symbol that needs to be copied which has text that needs
  • 21. Method 1 1. Click on the "Take" tool. 2. Select the object you want to copy. 3. Right-click and a contextual menu is displayed. 4. in the contextual menu, click on "Copy and parameter". 5. Move the cursor to the new object's position. 6. Click to set the copy. 7. The "Inspector" window is displayed. Check or modify the text (parameters). 8. Click on "OK".

Perform extractions (texts, symbols, etc.), making use of the procedures described above 33 EXPORT THE IMAGE ANALYSED INTO COMPUTER-ASSISTED DRAWING AND MODIFY IT. As soon as the diagram has been analysed, you can export it into the computerassisted drawing part of the software. (LIGHT version.) After export, it is possible to use all the functions of computer-assisted drawing (Elec’View) to modify, move, delete, print, etc., the diagram. 33.1 Export the image to computer-assisted drawing Reminder: Only diagrams in the format "*.sbr" (analysed or recognised) may be exported to computer-assisted drawing. To export the analysed image to computer-assisted drawing: 1. Click on the menu "File", then "Computer-assisted drawing", then "Export to computer-assisted drawing".

They can therefore be moved, copied and deleted like any other object in the diagram. If you wish to modify the input, this RLE block will be replaced by a Windows text block. This text block will be composed of characters sized so that the dimensions of the new vector-graphics object are identical to the original RLE block. To modify a text: 1. Double-click on an imported text (blue object). 2. The text entry window appears. 3. Enter the new text. 4. Click on the OK button.
  • 52. Separate the parts of an element. It may be useful to separate the parts of an element to have them available individually. Example: The various letters in an incorrectly laid out sentence. To separate the parts of an element: 1. Check that the "Selection mode" button is pressed, or click the "Selection mode" button to press it in. 2. Click on the object to explode; 3. Click on the "Disassociate the selection" button or right-click and use the

Example: Relocating several texts pasted on the wires of the "symbol" layer towards the "text" layer. To save time, Scan’Builder lets you automatically reproduce, on several objects, the correction operations carried out on a first object. To reproduce an analysis correction: 1. Carry out one of the analysis operations that were described in the preceding paragraphs. 2. Click on the button "Reproduce the formatting". Use on the whole image. To apply a filter to a whole image: 1. Do not check the "multi-windows" indicator to obtain the results in a new window,or check the "multi-windows" indicator to obtain the result in the active window.
  • 54. 2. Do not press in the "test filter" button.If you request the result in a new window, you will almost certainly have a cascade of windows because each new application of a filter will create another one. You can use the window menu to move, to the foreground, the state of the drawing that you think is most viable "Thresholding" an image. On certain images that are particularly deteriorated, you may have to apply threshold filters by zone. (Review this chapter). To "threshold" an image: 1. Click on the "Threshold" button. 2. The Threshold window opens. 3. Choose the value of the threshold using the Threshold indicator or by directly typing the value in the Threshold field. 4. Place the cursor on the image, then click on the left mouse button to launch
  • 55. the Using the "Small dots" filter. This filter lets you eliminate unwanted small stains (small dots) that may be present on your diagrams. These dots are often present after thresholding on damaged images. During use, you define the number of dots in the clusters to be eliminated. Example: If you give "1" as a value, the software will delete single black dots surrounded by white dots. If you give "10" as a value, the software will delete clusters including a maximum of 10 black dots surrounded by white dots. Original image Image filtered at "1 dot" Image filtered at "5 dots" Image filtered at "10 dots"
  • 56. Recommendation: To define the value of the number of small dots to delete: Zoom deeply on the zones of your diagrams to be eliminated until a grid appears. Then estimate the number of dots that are clustered together. Enter a value that is slightly higher in the "Small dots" field. Begin with a low value. Continue, gradually increasing the value.

This can plug the small holes that may be present on shapes on the diagram. These small holes can be produced following thresholding due to the disappearance of certain pixels in the objects. This operation will give a smoother and thicker appearance to the entire diagram. Using the "Junctions" filter. This filter can cut elements that are stuck together by a

These are eroded to a greater or lesser extent according to the number of passages. In the case where a protrusion connects 2 zones, these will be separated. (Behaviour similar to that of the "junction" filter) To use the "Median" filter 1. Click on the Filters/Others menu. 2. Click on "Median" 3.
