I/O Drawing Viewer
Overview The drawings are in a .DXF format that is supported by most CAD programs. The I/
O Drawing Generator uses the master .DXF drawings to create I/O drawings bas ed
on the I/O Configuration and Documentation information. Once the final .DXF
drawings are created, they can be imported using your CAD program.
This dialog box displays the I/O drawing for the current card. It also allows you to
print the displayed portion of the current .DXF drawing using the default Windows
printer settings. Several options are ava ilable to allow you to view your drawings.
Pan allows you to scroll the view of the drawings displayed in much the same way
as Autocad. Zoom allows you to zoom in on a selected section of the drawing. Zoom
Out takes you back to display the complete .DXF drawing.
