Graphics

The Graphics module is composed of three basic objects - graphic editor, graphic viewer, editor of drawing printouts, and a whole array of tools and commands for work with drawings during creation and editing of a project.

  

Graphic editor

The vector-based graphic editor serves for preparation and editing of drawings for a project. It can also be used to quickly edit drawings (changes in the course of the lifespan of objects - movement of partition, door, furniture, etc.). An indispensable feature is the simple drawing and preparation of drawings for the Chastia project using drawing templates. Interface of the software is very intuitive, and is similar to standard CAD applications.

The program allows importing of drawings from CAD applications, drawing in your own graphic environment, defining of drawing templates, etc.
The editor also enables one to insert bitmap images into drawings - e.g. scanned drawings, photographs, etc.

Graphic viewer

The graphic viewer in the first place serves for displaying graphic information (usually drawings), with a linkage between its elements (entities) and database records.

Editor of drawing printouts

This editor serves for defining of viewing and printing of drawing configurations. The main components of the printouts are Chastia FM drawings - however, these need not be mandatory. Besides Chastia FM drawings, you can insert images, text frames, etc., into the drawing configurations. The editor is object-based, where every configuration element acts completely independently - it can have its own size, scale, shape, and other properties.

Printouts can be saved to disk for further use in various formats.

The editor allows large-format printing or, as the case may be, a large drawing can be divided into several smaller pages (for example, A0 drawing printed on an A4 printer).

Tools for work with drawings

Chastia FM contains many auxiliary tools for working with drawings - e.g. a tool for linking of drawings with one another, a tool for generating records in the database from objects in the drawing, a tool for generating lengths, circumferences, and surfaces from drawings, etc. Such tools make working with Chastia FM very convenient. They significantly facilitate work during project preparation, and substantially speed up and lower the cost of these activities.
