Each graphic that you have printed in the printout report can be moved to a different position, copied, or changed subsequently.
Moving a graphic
To change the position of a graphic, use drag and drop to move the entry to the appropriate position in the navigator. Alternatively, you can use the shortcut menu of the navigator entry.
Copying or cloning the graphic
The shortcut menu of the graphic provides two options for creating a copy.
- Copy: The graphic is copied to the clipboard. Then, you can paste the copy to a different position by using the 'Insert' shortcut menu function or the key combination Ctrl + V.
- Clone: The copy of the graphic is inserted directly below the original.
Adjusting the graphic properties
If you want to rename a graphic or change the layout, adjust the 'Properties' of the image. They can be accessed on the shortcut menu of the graphic and the navigator entry.
The 'Picture Properties' dialog box appears presenting general parameters for setting the layout of the graphic. They are shown in the Graphic Printout image. Make your changes in the dialog box.
Modifying the graphic
If you change the view of a graphic, or if you want to adjust the objects, loads, or results shown in the image, you do not need to print the graphic again. Use the 'Edit' function on the context menu of the navigator or the graphic (see the image above) to open the Edit Printout Report Picture dialog box.
In the work window of RSTAB, you can not only adjust the print area, but also define a different section or object selection as well as change the load case or result type. When you have adjusted the view, click OK to confirm your changes.
