Working with Pages

A ConceptDraw document may have one or several pages.
Pages are convenient when the document contains information of different kind - such as text descriptions, drawings or pictures. You may place different information on different pages and refer to them with the help of hyperlinks. When you export a document to HTML, all links between pages will be preserved in HTML.

Adding a Page

To add a new page to the active document, choose Add from the Page menu, or click the Add Page button on the Pages toolbar. The Add Page dialog will come up. By default, the program names new pages automatically as "Page - N", where N is the new page number. You can change this name to a new one. After you click OK the new page will be added at the end of the page list, and will become active.

For more information about the Page Properties dialog see Dialogs -Modal Dialogs - Page Properties.

 

Background Pages

ConceptDraw V let you assign a page as background for one or more pages of the document. First you need to create a background page. Activate a page you want to make background. Call Properties from the Page menu. The Page Properties dialog will come up. Enable the Make it background page option. Click OK. Now for each page you want to apply background to, you can choose the background page in the Page Properties dialog.

For more information about the Page Properties dialog see Dialogs -Modal Dialogs - Page Properties.

 

 

Going to Another Page

To navigate between pages you can use the drop-down list in the bottom-left corner of the document window. Or you can also use the arrows nearby to go to the previous / next page.

You can use the buttons on the Pages toolbar to go to the first or last page of the document, next / previous page, or choose a page from the list.

For more information about the Pages toolbar see Toolbars - Pages.

 

Reordering Pages

To change the page order, choose Reorder from the Pages menu. In the Reorder Pages dialog you can specify a new order for the pages.

For more information about the Reorder Pages dialog see Dialogs - Modal Dialogs - Reorder Pages.

 

Naming a Page

You can see the page name on the document window title bar. To rename a page, choose Properties from the Page menu. In the Page Properties you can give a new name, assign it a background, or turn it into a background page. Click OK to apply changes.

For more information about the Page Properties dialog see Dialogs -Modal Dialogs - Page Properties.

 

Deleting a Page

To delete a page, choose Delete from the Page menu or use the Delete Page button on the Pages toolbar. The Delete Page dialog will come up, where you can choose a page to be deleted.

For more information about the Delete Page dialog see Dialogs - Modal Dialogs - Delete Page.

 

Hyperlinking to Pages

To each ConceptDraw shape you can assign a hyperlink, pointing to another page of the document and thus navigate between pages as you do in a Web browser. To point a hyperlink to a page of a document, use the Hyperlink dialog (menu Format / Hyperlink / Edit). Apart from a page, the hyperlink can point to a file, application, URL or an object inside the current document.

For more information about the Hyperlink dialog see Dialogs - Modal Dialogs - Hyperlink.
