Changing Existing Properties

You can change the appearance of a document in the drawing without recreating it (or opening the document).

Keyboard Command: WD2CADEP

After initializing the tool you will be prompted to pick a Word2CAD insert, then the following dialog appears.

The sections of the dialog are explained below.

• Document:
  • File: In the event that the document was moved, you can use this field and the adjacent Select button to designate the new drive, path, and/or file name.
  • Path: You can use the radio buttons to switch between absolute and relative paths.

    Note: If there is no relative path, such as the drawing and Word document being on different drives, no relative path can be derived.

    Note: Lengthy folder paths should be limited to be less than 248 characters in length and be aware that the formation of a relative path (which involves the placement of additional ..\ characters for each navigatable path) needs to be less than 260 characters.

  • Link: In the unlikely event that the range was renamed by the user, enter the new name here.
  • Style: You can choose a different style. If changes were made to the existing style, the table will take on those appearances after being recreated.
  • Scale: Enter the desired scale factor. See additional information in the Create New section.

Choose the OK button to make the changes and recreate the document, or Cancel to exit and abandon changes.
