Creating Borders (Rows and Cells)

www.kxcad.net Home > CAE Software Index > MATLAB Index >

First Steps

Once you have set up the page, use the PrintFrame Editor to specify borders (cells) in which the block diagram and information will be placed.

Important   Always specify the PrintFrame page setup before creating borders and adding information (see Specifying the Print Frame Page Setup). Otherwise, you might have to correct the borders and placement of the information. For example, if you add information to cells and then change the paper orientation from landscape to portrait, the information you added might not fit in the cells, given the new orientation.

Adding and Removing Rows

You can add and remove rows in a print frame.

1. Click within an existing row to select it. If a row consists of multiple cells, click in any of the cells in the row to select that row.

   When a row is selected, handles appear on all four corners. If handles appear on only two corners, you clicked on and only selected the line, not the row.

   

2. Click the add row button to create a new row.

   The new row appears above the row you selected.

3. To remove a row, select the row and click the delete row button.

Adding and Removing Cells

You can create multiple cells within a row.

1. Select the row in which you want multiple cells.

2. Click the split cell button.

   The row splits into two cells. If the row already consists of more than one cell, the selected cell splits into two cells.

3. To remove a cell, select the cell and click the delete cell button.

Resizing Rows and Cells

You can change the dimensions of a row or cell.

1. Click on the line you want to move.

   A handle appears on both ends of the line.

2. Drag the line to the new location.

For example, to make a row taller, click on the top line that forms the row. Then drag the line up and the height of the row increases.

Print Frame Size

Note that the overall size of the print frame is based on the options you specify using the page setup feature. Therefore, when you change the dimensions of one row or cell, the dimensions of the row or cell next to it change in an inverse direction. For example, if you drag the top line of a row to make it taller, the row above it becomes shorter by the same amount.

To change the overall dimensions of the print frame, use the page setup feature. See Specifying the Print Frame Page Setup.
