PLOEDIT is an external Robot application which allows you to open, edit and save *.plo-format files in order to determine the structure of the a plotter-drawing model.
The user may define in any way a plotter-drawing structure to be used when creating working drawings of RC structure elements.
The following object may appear in the *.plo-format files of plotter drawing models:
- Page
- View - this is a part of a working drawing; it includes a view of structure components with all the details (cross-section reinforcement, reinforcement along the length of an RC element, etc.)
- Table
- Table cell
- Drawing
- Text
- Area.
The menu and toolbar of the PLOEDIT program contain standard edit options: add/delete object, cut/copy/paste operations, undo/redo operations, reduce/enlarge operations, etc. The toolbar contains also an edit field where you can determine a view type (beam cross-section, column length, foundation view, etc.).
The bottom part of the PLOEDIT program contains a status bar presenting the following data:
- the present zooming scale ( x1, x2, x4 )
- the present editor state (selection mode or the name of the edited plotter-drawing element)
- current page / number of pages
- position and size of the edited plotter-drawing element
- mouse position with respect to the parent object of the edited plotter-drawing element
