Graph editing commands of SKWorkshop 42.1 Assemble and disassemble of SK Workshop “Assemble” command is « group command, used to assemble two or more graph objects in the cuent screen to @ whole graph object. The objects to be assembled may be graphs drawn by designers or useus or graphs fiom pictue Ubsery of the system, or other controls such as alarm contol and tend chat. After assembling the original properties of the graph elements vill not be Kept. An assembled object, graph or contol isa whole image and can be saved as brary contol for future use, Ihelping to save much time of the uses. “Disassemble” command is used to disassemble a graph assembled uring “Assemble” command to the original elements. After disassembling the original properties of the elements can be recovered. “Disassemble” command isa reverse command of “Assemble” command, ‘The assembling steps axe as follows > Fins, choose the graph objects tobe assembled, then pres “Assemble” command in the Edit menu, or TE utton i the tool bar, or call the right click menu and choose Assemble command in the Assenible option.

By default, objects created later aze on upper layer than, those created earlier. There axe four Layer commands that axe “Move object forward’, “Mave object backwasd”, “Mave object one layer forward”, and “Move object one layer backward”. To execute these commands, fst choose one or more Horizontal overturning Horizontal rotation allows designers to overtum a chosen guaph abject (or sever graph objects) by 190°azound a vertical enter line, Use of the horizontal overtuning conunand is simple.
