If you do not use either of these options, and have restored a color file created with earlier software, colors
96 through 255 will be assigned the color black (0).
4.2.9.2.11 Exiting the Grafx Editor
To exit from the Grafx editor, select File > Exit. If no changes have been made to the current model, the
display will be closed immediately. If changes have been made, a small pop-up window queries:
Save changes to <model name>?
Click on Yes to save changes, click on No to abandon changes. If multiple child windows are open in the
Grafx editor window, a prompt will be displayed for each unsaved model before the utility is exited. The
Grafx editor is then removed from the screen.
To cancel the exit operation and remain in the Grafx editor, click on Cancel.
4.2.9.3 The EDIT Pull-down Menu
On the Grafx window menu bar click the Edit option to view the Edit pull-down menu.
4.2.9.3.1 15.2.10.3.1 Undoing and Re-doing Previous Actions
The first item found on the Edit menu, the Undo option is used to undo up to 20 previous actions. It is func-
tionally equivalent to the Undo button found on the Main toolbar. For example, if an object is acci-
dentally deleted from the display, select the sequence Edit > Undo (or click on the Undo button) to retrieve
the object.
The Redo option on the Edit menu complements the Undo option. Use the Redo option to re-perform up to
20 previous actions that were undone.The Redo button on the main toolbar is functionally equivalent
to the Redo option.
4.2.9.3.2 Selecting Objects
Select By Name: If a name has been configured for an object (via the General tab in the Properties win-
dow for the object), you can select the object by name. Select the sequence Edit > Select By Name. In the
resulting pop-up window, enter the name of the object to be selected, then click OK. A dotted white line
with resize handles will appear around the selected object.
Select All: This option selects all objects in the current model.
4.2.9.3.3 Specifying the Model Type
Model Type: Select Graphic or Submodel; items stored as submodels are stored in a different location
than items stored as graphics. Items stored as submodels can be used as objects in other graphics, with
different data.
After a model has been created and saved as a graphic, it may later be used as a submodel. To convert a
model from a graphic to a submodel, do the following:
1. Load the graphic into the Grafx editor, as described previously in this chapter.
✎ Note The Color File option is valid on networks which are limited to
Micro-DCI nodes only.
