Create Slide

The Create Slide command is used to create a slide using an area of your drawing. A slide is an image file that is displayed in dialog boxes to represent the block that is selected.

The slide file must have the same name as the block that it represents. If a block is selected that does not have a corresponding slide, a preview will not be shown in the dialog box. The block will still insert properly if a corresponding slide does not exist.

To create a slide, go to
Ribbon: DMP: Customization→Block Creation→Create Slide
Pulldown Menu: DM Plumbing→Customization→Block Creation→Create Slide
