Marker:Substitute

From OptiTexHelpEn

The Substitute command is used to create new markers with the same placement layout as old markers. For example if a size large pants marker already created, its pieces can be substituted easily, while keeping the old marker layout, with size small of the same or even different pants.

When should 'Substitute' be used and when 'Update Style'?

• If the some changed were made to the original Style file (i.e. geometry was changed or even some pieces were added or deleted) – use the 'Update Style'.
• If the same layout of the marker should be replaced by other sizes (most common case), or other pieces – use the 'Substitute'.

File To Substitute

Select the style file (PDS) with the new sizes/ pieces.

Current Design File

This field displays the design file that is in the current open marker file.

Size/ Piece Substitution

This field is used to define the new size(s) that will replace the old size(s) in order to create the new marker. Select the size on the left, and choose the change on the right.

No Substitute

Keep this size/ piece as is, i.e. even if the pieces of size small were changed in the 'File To Substitute', it will not change.

Delete

Delete the selected size/ piece from the Marker Order.
Note: In this example Delete Unused was enabled.

Incremental Rotation

This field allows rotating the selected pieces on a defined angle, while substituting them.

Do Mirror

This field allows flip the selected piece. Mirror will flip the piece regardless of its 'Opposite' definitions.

Delete Unused

When delete unused is enabled, the pieces from the old marker will be deleted from the Style Order and of course from the Piece Bar. Note: This checkbox should usually be enabled.
