Previewing Cards

Card images are described by a template file block. You can display the card image using the card previewer.

To display the card image using the card previewer, specify the appropriate card previewer commands within a *beginmenu()/*endmenu() block. You can use these commands to display entity data and edit solver-specific attributes.

Since the card previewer is used to view and edit attributes on multiple entities, some data may not have a common value to display for the selected entities . When this occurs, a large X is drawn through the data display area. If the data is an editable field (attribute), select the field and enter a value that is common to all of the selected entities. If the entities do not share a common value, HyperWorks Desktop ignores any logic commands (*menuif(), *menuoption(), *menuoptionenum(), and so on) dependent on entities sharing a common value.
