Creating symbols

Post by sditape »

We are trying to create a new symbol by importing a picture and saving it as a drawing symbol. It will save as a symbol in the file I am working in and I can 'draw the symbol' in the file before closing, but if I close out and try to load it into a new file, Irricad crashes/Stops working. Is it possible to create a symbol with a picture of .jpg file?

Symbols can contain images however the image cannot be embedded. Save the image into your symbols folder so that the linked image is less likely to be lost or moved.

We have a new computer, running v13, and are trying to move all labels and 'keywords' to the new computer. We are missing a couple that were given to us at a training, we believe. Is there a way to transfer all of the 'keywords' to the new computer or are they on an update? We are missing NOMLARGEFLOW and VALVEFLOW (Control Valve D/S Flow). If we can not move them, how do we recreate them? Thanks!

Hi,

The NOMLARGEFLOW keyword was added in V13.18 and the VALVEFLOW keyword was added in V13.20 so if you are not running this patch or a later patch you will not see these keywords.

You can download the latest V13 patch (v13.28) from http://www.irricad.com/irricad/download ... ch1328.exe
