The Figures Sidebar Folder

The Figures Sidebar Folder controls all the currently active pre-drafted symbols (called figures) in DynaScape Design. Much of the look and feel of DynaScape Design drawings is achieved by using figures. Much of the speed, efficiency, and flexibility of the DynaScape Design drafting process is achieved because the included figures make drafting a plan quicker and easier.

Figures automatically assume their proper layer and size relative to the drawing scale when they are inserted into a drawing. Although using the default settings assigned to a figure makes drafting quicker, you can reset any of the default attributes of a figure while you insert it into a drawing.
