(2) Comment file : file CMT to edit
Edit
- Check ON
When selected file is view file, it can convert to comment, and
edit.
Don't display view file.
- Check OFF
Open in order to see, when selected file is view file.
In addition, comment can be added to view file in piles.
- Check ON and OFF
When comment file is specified, it opens as a comment and can edit.
PreView mode
When this check mark is applied, it will be opened whenever it selects
file of file list, and will be displayed on the whole screen.
It is convenient to see plural files continuously.
When check mark is removed, it don't open until the Open button is
pushed.
Multi-page
When this check mark is applied and drawing file consists of multi-pages,
it will be divided and read into two or more pages as a multi-page.
When this check mark is removed and drawing file consists of multi-pages,
all the pages will be read into the 1st page in piles.
How to open multiple files simultaneously
Hold down the Ctrl key or Shift key and select the file with the mouse.
The Ctrl key can be selected one file at a time.
The Shift key selects all the files between the first selected file in the file list and the second selected file.
The order in which files are opened is the order in which they are displayed in the "File List" of this dialog.
In the "File List", you can rearrange by combining the combo box in the upper right corner of this dialog with "Report" and clicking the cell at the top of the "File List".
When you press the Ctrl key or Shift key, "MultiPage" turns ON, "Edit (open as comment)" and "Preview Mode" turns OFF.
If you open multiple files in this way, the file will be expanded to the page.
If one file is multi-page, this file will expand to multiple pages.
Example:
File composition to read
1st file: ABC.hgl 2 page structure
2nd file: DEF.hgl 1 page structure
Parent Window Displays the name of the first file in the title.
Child Window Displays the file name of the open page in the title.
Please refer to "Drawing area when reading file of PloView series product" for drawing area(area displayed when issuing display all command)
of the opened file.
Usually, although displayed with color of pen and line width in drawing
data, it is changeable with setup of pen.
* Input pen
When this pen number is gray display, it is shown that this pen is
not inputted into drawing data, and it is shown in case of bright display
that this pen is inputted into drawing data.
Display of this pen can turn OFF by removing check mark.
* Pen table No.
This item is applied when "Priority 3" is set in "Setup
of foreground color" below.
The pen table information has table numbers from 1 to 20, and stores the color and line width for each pen number. The initial color values of the pen table are as follows when the table numbers are 1 to 4 and the pen numbers are 0 to 15.
PenTable-No.1 HPGL color table
screen background color black
PenTable-No.2 HPGL color table
screen background color white
PenTable-No.3 Comment color table screen
background color black
PenTable-No.4 Comment color table screen
background color white
PenTable-No.5-20 not set reference:
For example, the color of the pen table is as follows.
PenTable-No.1,2 PenTable-No.3,4
Color HPGL color table Comment color table
Red Pen-No.13 Pen-No.1
Green Pen-No.11 Pen-No.3
Blue Pen-No.10 Pen-No.5
If there is no PC(pen color) command in the view file(open with edit
off), it will open in the color table of the specified PenTable-No.
Comment files(open with edit on) always open in the comment color table.
PenTable-No.1,2
Use the HPGL color table to display the view file.
The pen number(= color number) of the figure in the comment file opened with Edit turned on does not match the view file of the conversion source.
For example, in the view file, Pen No.13 is displayed as red.
When this is converted to a comment file, it will be displayed in
the same color, so it will be converted to Pen No.1 (= color number 1).
PenTable-No.3,4
Use the comment color table to display the view file.
The pen number(= color number) of the figure in the comment file opened
with Edit turned on matches the view file of the conversion source.
For example, in the view file, Pen No.1 is displayed as red.
When this is converted to a comment file, it will be displayed in
the same color, so it will be converted to Pen No.1(= color number 1).
Use PenTable-No.3,4 (comment color table) if you want to open the
file with edit on and output to the HPGL pen plotter to draw figures with
the same number for input and output.
* Color is changed when pen color is same color as background
When it draws with pen of the same color as background color, picture
will disappear.
When this check mark is checked, and background color and drawing
pen are black, drawing pen will be changed white and will be drawn.
When background color and drwaing pen are except black, set drwaing
pen black and draw it.
When input files are DXF, DWG, and IGES file, recommend check ON
for this.
In the case of GERBER file, recommend check OFF.
Please refer to Subject and solution about color.

It becomes the color of pen No. specified by background pen
No.
Background color at the time of outputs, such as printer, and TIFF,
PDF:
It is usually white. If the check mark "This background
color is used with
output" is attached, it will become the color of pen
No. specified by
background pen No.
* Setup of foreground color
Priority 1:
If it is set as monochrome display mode, it will become black
and white.
Priority 2:
"Ignore PC (pen color) command" check mark is removed,
it will become the
color of PC command of drawing data.
Priority 3 will be applied if there is no PC command in drawing
data.
Priority 3:
It becomes the color set up for every pen.
* Setup of line width
Priority 1:
It is displayed with the line width of No.16 pen when you
sets up to
"Set to mode: all line width is 16th pen".
Priority 2:
"Ignore PW (pen width) command" check mark is removed,
it will become the
line width of PW command of drawing data.
Priority 3 will be applied if there is no PW command in drawing
data.
Priority 3:
It becomes the pen width set up for every pen.
Example:

Line connected with specified line of vector drawing data can be searched.
Search results are displayed on screen as the specified color. Since these
search results are memorized temporarily, it will disappear, if it performs
clearing search results or ending this program, or it searches connection
of the next line, or it opens another file etc. If it is while having memorized,
displaying, printer output, PDF output, DXF output, and clipboard copy
can be performed for search results. The total line segment length of connected
line who searched is displayed. Area is displayed that connected line has
closed.
Search condition setup
Move the mouse cursor closer to the line, the line will be recognized.
If mouse button is clicked here, continuous line is searched, and color
is changed and displayed as shown next figure.
Surface can be searched when you click closed line with the mouse left
button. Surface is smeared away and search results are displayed on screen
as color specified in "Surface color". Area of surface searched
in dialog is displayed.
It can output to Windows printer or HPGL plotter.
You can preview before output.
* OutScale
Output on the scale specified here.
If the paper is large with respect to the drawing area, a margin will appear, and if the paper is small, the drawing will be clipped.
* AutoScale
When this check mark is attached, the output scale is automatically set
so that the drawing area fills the paper area excluding the paper margin.
At this time, "OutScale" can not be set.
* AutoSelectPaper(Size, Portrait/Landscape)
Specify the paper standard loaded in the printer in "Paper standard" from the following.
ISO A0 to A4
ISO B0 to B5
JIS B0 to B5
ANSI A to E
ARCH A to E, E1
This function is effective when "AutoScale" check mark is not
attached. The paper size according to the output drawing size is automatically
determined from the standard paper size. Also, the paper direction is automatically
determined Portrait and Landscape. If the printer does not support the
paper size, or if the printer can not change the paper orientation, do
not select its size or direction. When the output drawing size exceeds
the maximum paper size that can be selected, select the maximum paper and
automatically adjust the output scale so that the drawing size matches
that paper size.
* HPGL file output
When you select a file as an output destination in the plotter output, you can obtain the following HP-GL file.
· HP-GL file with scale, angle, mirror ON/OFF changed
· HP-GL file of expanded area
· HP-GL file combining comments and HP-GL files
· Minimum unit of coordinate of constituent points of figure
The minimum movement unit of the initial value HPGL plotter is 0.025mm
for both XY, and this is taken as one unit and expressed as an integer.
However, you can change the minimum movement unit with the
following
settings.
Press the Plotter1 Edit or Plotter2 Edit button in
the SetPlotter Dialog.
Correct the next value (initial value 40.0) on the

from the series at "Paper name width * height".
By specifying "Atypical size", you can specify the width and height of the paper in the "Atypical Width" and "Atypical Height" fields.
When "Drawing area + margin" is specified, the area containing
"PaperSpace" is the paper size in the drawing area of the specified
"OutScale".
When "AutoPaperSelect" is specified, the optimum paper
size is automatically selected from the area containing the "PaperApace"
in the drawing area of the specified "OutScale", and Portrait/Landscape
is also automatically selected.
* Output form of page
There are two output forms as follows.
(1) One file of multi-page
Combine each page of the opened file into one multi-page
output file.
(2) Multi-file of one page

This section explains how to insert tables created in EXCEL into
a drawing.
Place Table 1 created in EXCEL in the main drawing at the bottom
right and Table 2 at the top right.
The compressed file ExcelInput.zip that contains the DEMO data contains the following files. Table 1 ① 3AngleProjSymbol.cmt: Third angle symbol. Comment file created with PloView
② 3AngleProjSymbol.emf: File that outputs the file ① to an EMF file using PloView
③ PloCompIcon.jpg: JPEG file with company mark
④ Table1A.pdf: PDF file output from Table 1 created in EXCEL
Table 2
⑤ Table2A.pdf: PDF file output from Table 2 created with EXCEL
Main drawing ⑥ MainDrawing.hgl: Main drawing HPGL file
⑦ Table.xlsx: Table 1 and Table 2 created in EXCEL
1. Create Table 1 in EXCEL
The data in Table 1 has been created in the tab “Table1A” of the
file "⑦Table.xlsx". Important point
(1) Please use a monospaced font such as "MS Gothic" for the
text FONT.
If you use Japanese characters, please use "HGゴシックM".
If you use another FONT, the strings will be unevenness when you create a PDF file from EXCEL and read it with PloView.
Before open file with PloView, use "Set" "Text"
to display the "Set Text Dialog" and turn off "Priority
is given" for "...PDF, EMF, DXF files.", it will be same
font as the main drawing.
(2) If you want to insert a figure that is a combination of lines, arcs,
planes, characters, etc. into the table, use the comment function of PloView
to create it(①3AngleProjSymbol.cmt) and output it to the EMF file(②3AngleProjSymbol.emf).
Create the image file (③PloCompIcon.jpg) using an image editor such
as Paint.
Insert these files using "Insert" and "Figure" in EXCEL.
(3) Create a PDF file (④Table1A.pdf) using the print function from EXCEL.
In the print settings, use the smallest paper size possible and set
the left and top margins to zero. Use "Microsoft Print to PDF"
for the printer name (printer driver).
2. Create Table 2 in EXCEL
The data in Table 2 has been created in the tab “Table2A” of the
file “⑦Table.xlsx”. Important point
(1) Same as paragraph 1 (1)
(2) For the circled numbers 1 to 20, you can use the characters in FONT.
For circled numbers over 21, please use the EXCEL basic shape of a circle with numbers superimposed on it.
(3) Create a PDF file (⑤Table2A.pdf) using the print function from EXCEL.
In the print settings, use the smallest paper size possible and set the left and top margins to zero.

from maximizing the Main Window, the child Window sometimes protruded from
the Main Window. It was improved so that it would not stick out.
(12) Help for "Relation of extension" Dialog was not displayed.
Improved to display. Ver.10.12 May 9, 2022
(13) The zoom area information shared by all child windows is now retainedfor
each child window. In the past, multiple child windows were created, the
display area was changed for each window to maximize the window, and when
the window was switched, the same area was displayed. Ver.10.12 June 8, 2022
(14) When all the constituent points of the surface are the same, when
opened with Edit OFF, only the outline is drawn and not filled, and when
opened with Edit ON, it is painted normally, but there is
a problem that it hangs in the comment attribute display. This has been
improved.
(15) Added support for alpha blend bitmaps in PDF and EMF files.
Ver.11.00 July 27, 2022 (1) Compatible with Windows 11. (2) Code signing
was added.
By attaching a code sign, the software distribution source is
authenticated, and it is guaranteed that spoofing and content tampering have not
been performed. Recently, Windows and security check software have tightened
security checks, and there are increasing cases of false recognition even though
there is no virus. Code signing may reduce false positives. Ver.11.00 February 10, 2023 (3) Added the following text to Article 2 of
"License agreement". "This software cannot be operated remotely."
(4)
Open a black-and-white TIFF file, select [Set] [Pen], set [Set to Black and
White mode] and [output] to ON, and when outputting to PDF, the black and white
reversed PDF file will appear. Fixed this bug.
Ver.11.01 March 18, 2023
(1) Fixed the problem that the paper size of the PDF file output by automatic
paper selection is slightly deviated from the standard size when the standard
size paper is selected for PDF output.
(2) Fixed the problem that when the paper is set to "drawing area
+ zero margin" in PDF output, the figure at the drawing periphery
of the output PDF file is slightly out of the paper size and is not displayed.
(3) When the left, right, top, and bottom drawing positions of various
outputs are set again in one of the outputs, they are reflected in the
other outputs.
However, when the output device for plotter/printer output is switched
to HPGL Plotter, the drawing position is automatically set to the lower
left. There is a possibility that other output may be performed without
noticing the automatic switching.
Therefore, after outputting to HPGL Plotter, the drawing position is automatically
restored. Ver.11.01 September 15, 2023
(4) Updated the deadline for code signing.
(5) Fixed the following problems in the input/output of PDF and EMF files.
* Abnormal display of Bezier curve during input
* During input, display abnormality of POLYPOLYGON (surface) with
multiple closed loops
* Character display abnormality when inputting/outputting a file
with characters in vertical writing font with @
(6) Corresponds to vertical writing FONT characters with @ in input/output
of HPGL1, DXF, DWG, IGES, SXF files
(7) Character size adjustment and vertical character error correction when
outputting DXF and DWG files
(8) When exporting DXF and DWG files with AutoCAD version GX-5, the font
used to be AutoCAD's own Vector Font, but changed to MS Gothic.
(9) Corrected that the character area when selecting individual characters
was abnormal when there were multiple lines in the character comment data
and the line feed direction was up.
(10) The comment attribute window used to have to be closed after each
selection. The attribute is displayed by selecting it continuously with
the window open. Ver.11.01 October 20, 2023
(11) Corrected a hang problem when specifying a file type other than "cmt"
in Macro input for comments. Ver.11.01 December 31, 2023
(12) When inputting PDF or EMF files, if "Set" - "InputFile"
- "Setup when opening PDF file" - "Delete painting out of
white" was turned on, the rectangular filled data was not deleted.
I decided to delete this. Ver.11.01 March 3, 2024
(13) The following HPRTL commands are now supported.
'ESC%A'(enter PCL mode), 'ESC*rB'(end raster graphics)
Previously, when opening a file, the image shape of this command was ignored. Ver.11.01 April 22, 2024
(14) The arc of the comment surface is displayed as a polygon.
At that time, I had drawn the arc decomposition angle
at 5 degrees for the edges and 10 degrees for the fill, so when I enlarged
it, the shapes of the peripheral parts did not match.
Therefore, the arc decomposition angles for edges and fills
were unified to 10 degrees. Ver.11.01 April 29, 2024
(15) Fixed a bug where a white filled rectangle was displayed at the top
left of the drawing area when inputting PDF or EMF files.
This issue is an improvement related to paragraph (12).
This works regardless of whether "Set"-"InputFile"-"Setup
when opening PDF file"-"Delete painting out of white" is
ON/OFF. Ver.11.01 May 11, 2024
(16) When inputting a PDF or EMF file, if there was binary data of a raster
image figure, there was a problem in which the figure would not be displayed
in very rare cases. This time, we have revised this.
(17) When inputting PDF or EMF files, it took a long time to open if there
were raster image shapes. This has been sped up. Return to Index
