Description
Loads or assigns an object graphic tag to the currently selected frame.

This macro is an alias of the tfobject macro; both being present for purposes of backward compatibility.

Example 130. Create a new object graphic tag name
The macro shown below automatically creates a new object graphic tag name and assigns it to the selected frame:
tfo "_"
Example 131. Import object graphic, fit to frame and preserve aspect ratio
This example imports a linked file called pic1 from the specified directory, using PTC ALD automatic file filter, fitting to frame whilst preserving the aspect ratio:
tfo 1,"pic1",--1,"c:\imports\pic1.jpg",1,1
Syntax
tfo *:L? link:n? ( name:t ( filter:n file:s ( fit:n ( aspect:n ( t colour mode:n ( g colour mode:n ) )? )? )? )? )?
