Convert Truss to Symbol |
● Spotlight: Customize workspace to add command (see Customizing workspaces) ● Braceworks: Braceworks |
If not performing Braceworks calculations, the use of many truss objects can be processor-intensive. For similar reasons as those explained in Advantages of symbols, you may wish to create a symbol from a truss and use that in your drawing. However, trusses converted to symbols cannot participate in Braceworks calculations.
To convert a truss to a symbol:
1. Select the truss (or multiple truss objects) to convert.
2.Select the command.
An alert opens, informing you how many objects were converted.
Each type of truss is converted to a hybrid symbol. The symbol is named after the original truss name.
