Replace

The Replace section of the form allows changes to many of the attributes of a field. All fields that have been included in the completed search will be changed as a result of the replace function.

If the user has searched by Object Name then the Replace drop down list defaults to Object Name. Likewise for Contents of Label searches, the drop down list will default to Label Value.

If both Object Name and Contents of Label have been used to complete the search then the user must select one or the other from the drop down list.

Any of the following can then be changed:

Object Name

Depending on the way the user has searched, the system defaults to a certain amount of characters that can be changed. For example:

If the user searched on <GOLD>*A??<GOLD>* the system will default to 3 characters.

The change will always occur commencing with the first number or letter you have specified. For example:

Using the above instance you could change A?? to CBA. Alternatively if only A? requires changing the user changes the Number of Original Characters to Replace field to 2.

Label Value

See Object Name above for making changes to Label Values

Change Size by:

The size of an object can be changed by

• Width and/or depth - both relating to painted size of object on screen
• Vertical/Horizontal - both relating to number of repetitions for an object.

Using this replace function will add or decrease the size of an object. Examples:

• The painted width of an object is 25 and it must become 40. The user would enter 15 in the width box.
  
  
• The painted width of an object is 40 and must become 25. The user would enter -15 in the width box.
  
  
• The object currently has 10 downward repetitions and should have 15. The user would enter 5 in the vertical box.

Colour

Check the Colour box if you wish to change the colour of the object and enter the number of the new colour in the field provided.

Check the None box if no colour is required.

Colour Chart

The colour Chart can be accessed with the command button ‘>>’ just below the colour field.

Miscellaneous

The errors and warnings check boxes allow you to specify that you so not wish to see:

• read check warnings
  
  
• incorrect translation errors

These settings may be helpful for those who use the toolkit very often. All dialogs that can be ‘defaulted’ include an option to ignore subsequent errors, eg: readcheck error 22, ok, ok to all, cancel.
