7.11.10. [ELEMENT_frame] Combine more elements in frame

If several individual elements are to be combined, the Frame element is used. This is then the parent element for all elements placed on it.

The "Frame" element is declared with "ELEMENT_" followed by a unique name for the element.

Example:

[ELEMENT_frame]

The following attributes are available:

type = frame
Declares element type and is mandatory.

dxf

Provides a DXF frame for the sketch, in other words the elements are projected onto a DXF sketch.

You must indicate width and height via the DXF sketch. In this case "width" and "height" (see below) must not be explicitly entered. Quite the contrary: If "width" and "height" are indicate, the "dxf" entries are undone.

	Note
The corresponding .dxf file is located in the same directory as the same-named .dw template file. If more than one paper format is made available, several dxf files will be located in the directory and their respective *.cfg configuration files. Compare to Section 7.11.11, “[Formats] Different paper formats ”.

Note

The corresponding *.dxf file is located in the same directory as the same-named *.dw template file.

If more than one paper format is made available, several dxf files will be located in the directory and their respective *.cfg configuration files. Compare to Section 7.11.11, “[Formats] Different paper formats ”.
