CUT SHEET (CutShe)

Type: Batch Application

Cuts vector and image data against sheet lines with options to output sheets to new VrOne files.

Detailed Description

Cuts vector and image data against user defined sheet lines. Multiple sheets may be defined using standard VrOne lines, and each sheet may be any shape. Multiple workspaces may be cut from. If the cut data is to be copied or moved to another VrOne file the contents will be placed in a separate VrOne file for each sheet line. If image data is being cut, it will be placed in a separate TIFF file for each sheet. The VrOne and image file names will either be taken from existing text labels or created automatically based on user settings.

Local Commands

Parameters

Cut Images

Determines if image data will be cut out to new image files. This is only valid if Action taken is set to Move to fil or Copy to file. For images, Move to file and Copy to file have the same meaning, image data is never cut from the original image.

Create Image Pyramids

Determines if image pyramids will be written as each new image is created. This is only valid if Cut Images is on.

Action to take on cut data

Data cut from polygon can be:

Thrown away	Thrown away – Cut data will be deleted. Does not apply to image data.
Change Graphic Pointer	Change graphic pointer – Data cut will have it’s graphic pointer changed and will be placed back in the workspace.
Copy to File	Copy to file – Copies cut data to output files.
Move to File	Move to file – Moves cut data to output files.

Workspaces to consider

It is possible to cut data from all open workspaces if this parameter is set to All open.

Layer for sheet lines

This layer will be searched for sheet lines. Only the current workspace will be searched.

Layer for sheet name labels

This layer will be searched for sheet names labels. Only one sheet name label should be placed within each sheet line. Only the current workspace will be searched.

Line graphic pointer to change to

If the action to take on the cut data is to change its graphic pointer then this parameter defines the line graphic pointer to change line entities to.

Symbol graphic pointer to change to

If the action to take on the cut data is to change its graphic pointer then this parameter defines the symbol graphic pointer to change symbol entities to.

Minimum line distance

Any resulting cut line that is shorter than this ground distance will be deleted.

Sheet name mode

Defines the method that will be used to determine output sheet names. The same name will be used for the VrOne vector files and the TIFF image files.

Use existing text labels	Will search for text labels in the layer specified in the "Layers for sheet lines" options. A single text label should be placed inside each sheet line. For example, if you want the sheet to be written as sheet1.vr and sheet1.tif, then a text label of "sheet1" should be placed inside the sheet line.
Generate sequential sheet names	Will generate the sheet names automatically by using the specified "New Sheet Name Prefix", starting with the number 1. For example, if the "New Sheet Name Prefix: is set to "sheet", then the first sheet files written will be sheet1.vr and sheet1.tif.

New Sheet Name Prefix

This prefix will be used if Sheet name mode is set to "Generate sequential sheet names".

Output Path

All output files will be placed in the output path directory. If left blank, then files will be placed in the current working directory.

Examples

Cut vector and image data from multiple sheets

Output files:

CUTSHEET1.VR, CUTSHEET1.TIF

CUTSHEET2.VR CUTSHEET2.TIF
