A make-up is used to customize the appearance of plots.
It may be used either for individual graphic objects or Graphic Sheets.
Note: do not mix the two types of make-up files, unless you want to run into errors.
Note: only one type of context menu among the several available is shown.
Building a make-up
Make changes to the plot with the property editor.
Saving a make-up
Once all changes have been made in the plot, right-click on a blank part of the plot and select Save make-up in the context menu.
When Save make-up is selected, Make up property filter appears in a pop-up window.
Checked boxes have the following effects:
- X axis limits: keep the two end values of the x-axis
- Y axis limits: keep the two end values of the y-axis
- X object position: keep the x position of the plot in the page
- Y object position: keep the y position of the plot in the page
- Layers: keep the object layers
- X axis title: keep the x-axis title
- Y axis title: keep the y-axis title
- Custom property filter: for advanced make-up property customizing. When this box is checked a window opens inside the Make up property filter window (Example).
The saving process continues by pressing .
Choose a destination folder in the browser pop-up window.
Type the name of the make-up in the appropriate text box. Do not include the extension, it is added automatically.
