Übersetzungstabelle

A Cross Reference Table (CRT) contains data which refers to related or synonymous information elsewhere, usually within the same document. Therefore, a Cross Reference Table helps OCAD to transcribe data (symbols, text etc.) with new information.

A CRT-File (with the ending .crt) is a text file with the necessary information for the translation. All CRT-Files which are saved by OCAD contain a table with two columns. Information from the second column gets translated into the information of first second column. In some cases it is the other way round.

The following table from the Convert Text Objects to Point Objects function can be taken as an example. In the first column symbol numbers of point objects are listed. In the second column text is listed. OCAD converts now each text object, which contains text from the list, to the point symbol with the number listed in the same row.

 112.000 knoll
 115.000 hole

CRT-Files are used for many OCAD functions:

Function	First Column	Second Column
Convert Imported Layers to Symbols	Symbol number	Number of the layer
Convert Text Objects to Point Objects	Symbol number of point object	Plain text
Convert Text Objects from OEM to Unicode	Unicode (0..65535)	OEM character code (0..255)
Load Colors and Symbols From	Symbol number of the current OCAD-File	Symbol number of the symbol to replace with of the other OCAD-File
Import OCAD Map	Symbol number of the map to be imported	Symbol number of the currently opened OCAD-File

In most of the functions, the CRT-File can be created, edited, loaded or saved directly in the function dialog. This part of the dialog looks as follows:

You have the following options:

• Load: Click this button to load an existing CRT-File.
• Save: Click this button to save the changes to a CRT-File.
• Save as: Click this button to save the changes to a different CRT-File.
• First Column (in the example OEM [0..255]): In this column you can select or enter the data which you want to translate.
• Second Columng (in the example Unicode [0..65535]): In this column you can select or enter the data which the first column shall be translated into.
• Move Up: Click the Move up icon to move the selected line upwards in the table.
• Move Down: Click the Move down icon to move the selected line downwards in the table.
• Add: Click this button to add a reference to the list.
• Delete: Click this button to delete the selected reference.

You can edit a CRT-File with a text editor, too.

Examples

Load Colors and Symbols From

The CRT-File of the Load Colors and Symbols From function is defined as follows:

In the first column of the cross reference table the symbol numbers of the current map are listed. In the second column symbol numbers of the other OCAD-File are listed, namely those numbers of symbols, which the current symbol has to be replaced with.

Example:

 526.000 813.001

If a row of the CRT-File looks as in the example, the symobls of all objects with the symbol number 526.00 will get the symbol of the other OCAD-File with the number 813.001.

Import OCAD-Files

The CRT-File of the Import OCAD Map function is defined as follows:

In the first column of the cross reference table the symbol numbers of the map to be imported have to be listed. In the second column the symbol numbers of the currently opened OCAD-File have to be listed.

Example:

 101.000 305.000

All objects with the symbol 101.000 in the file which is to be imported are assigned with the symbol 305.000 of the currently opened OCAD-File.
