Feature Update: Re-sizable Icons on the Floor Plan

When you add a part or diagram to a floor plan with Techforce Pro, they may fit properly depending on the size of the floor plan.  However if your floor plan is smaller, these icons will start to get close to each other or even overlap.

Next time you modify a customers floor plan with Techforce Pro, you will have the ability to modify what you see in the icon and how large it is.  To change these settings, first click on the menu button:


As you can see, there is a new option, Settings.  Pressing this opens a new menu where you can show or hide part or system Icons.



In this example, I'll turn off the "Show Part Icons" check-box.  Notice in the image below, the part labeled "A6" no longer has an image.  When you print up the customer PDF, or view the floor plan details page, you can still reference the part using the "A6" label.



Next, I resize the icons by pressing the minus - button in the Grow/Shrink Item section of settings.  Notice in the image below that the text size and images are much smaller.  I am zoomed out of this floor plan so on the final image, these labels are readable.


This will be helpful when you have many items on a page that are close to each other, like smoke detectors in apartments, or sensors in hallways.  Everything is still able to be wired up as normal.

As usual, keep the feature requests coming.
