Defining samples

Tool(s): Element for Fit

A hexagonal stone, for example, can be placed in different ways.
To avoid entering the same rules again and again, you can define a rule just once and save it under a name of your choice (see example).

To define a new sample

1. Click Element for Fit (How).
   

   Activate Element for Fit in one of the following ways

   • Menu bar: Create Bonus Tools Smart Fit

   • Palette: Tools Create area in the following module(s):

   Smart Fit

2. In the Sample tab, click Select.
3. The Path Settings dialog box opens.
4. Select a folder - private, office - and a file or
   create a new file.
   

   Click and enter a name, which can be up to 12 characters long. Press ENTER to confirm.
   Your custom elements and patterns are saved in this file.

5. Click OK to confirm the settings.
6. To enter a sample in the list, click again in the Smart Fit dialog box and enter a name (press ENTER to confirm).
7. In the next dialog box, select an element or a pattern that is to be a part of the new sample.
8. Define the rule.
9. Press ESC to quit the tool.

Note: The Default path (\Default\samples) contains the data that come with the program. Data in this path cannot be modified. Although you can select elements, you cannot change them or modify, save or delete attributes.
If you want to edit the data that come with the program, open ProjectPilot (File menu) and drag the data to a different path, for example Office or Private. This copies the data. This is only possible if the target path includes the Smart Fit folder. The Office and Private paths come with this folder. The program automatically creates this folder in a project as soon as you define and save an element.
