Editing Slot Segments
The RMxprt Slot Editor allows users to edit the segments that form the geometry of slots. In the slot data edit view, selecting a slot segment item on the tree, then right-clicking on it displays a context menu with commands that allow users to Insert, Append, Modify, and Remove segments.
Alternatively, users can select a slot segment directly in the graphic view, then right-click to bring up a context menu containing the same segment editing commands.
When a slot segment is selected, users can also modify the segment data directly in the desktop property window. Each edit triggers immediate validation. If edited values are improper, warning message windows are displayed describing the problem. Editing operations support Undo/Redo. Scripting functions are also available.
- Insert Segment – adds a segment before the currently selected segment. The added segment is defined by the user in the Edit Slot Segment dialog box.
- Append Segment – adds a segment after (i.e., below) the currently selected segment. The appended segment is defined by the user in the Edit Slot Segment dialog box.
- Modify Segment – modifies the currently selected segment. The segment is modified by the user in the Edit Slot Segment dialog box.
- Remove Segment – removes the currently selected segment. The ends of the segments on either side of the removed segment are joined when the segment is removed.
