: EXTRACE : Insert:ObjectShortcut
: NoneThis command inserts the target surface or element into ExTrace adding it to the surfaces already there. Next time you render the ExTrace scene, you will see the inserted objects.
When inserted for ExTrace visualization, the surfaces are written into special ExTrace object files. These are stored a sub directory called ExSpl_files within the model directory. A unique number identifies each object. DeskArtes uses this number to decide whether a surface has changed since it was last used in ExTrace. If it has not changed it simply reuses the previous definition.
