Object Frames

Object Frame is the first required element on any layout; it connects the layout to actual object data via drag-and-drop from the tree.

Two types of object frame: Single Object Frame displays data from one borehole at a time; Multi-Object Frame displays data from multiple boreholes simultaneously (e.g., 5 borehole logs side by side).

Convert between single and multi object frame via right-click > Convert Object Frame.

Object Frame sphere icon: white = no data connected, red = data connected (single object frame), multiple spheres = multi-object frame.

For multi-object frame: hold Command key while dragging to add multiple objects to the data source.

Object frame position can be set exactly via Properties > Position > X, Y, Width, Height (e.g., 0,0 with 21x29.7 cm = A4 portrait).

Drag-and-dropping objects during layout editing is for editing-mode preview only; it does not permanently link objects to the template.

When a multi-object frame is used, its data source can be defined to specify exactly which boreholes to include in the output.
