Detail Style-Descriptions - Position Flags tab

Setting Description
General Sets position flags placement options.
Pos. Flags First The position flags are attached before part dimensioning so that they are near the part.
Only First Part View In case of several partial views of a detail, the position flags are only attached to the first view (except for possible 2D cuts and folded end plates).
In Section views Position flags are also attached to all 2D-cuts.
No cross sections Position flags are not attached to component parts, which are visible as cross-sections in the view.
Plates in Views A position flag is also attached to poly-plates and stiffeners in model-views (overviews).
Alignment Here, you select the alignment of the position flags in the detail drawing.
  • Horizontal ? all position flags are aligned horizontally.
  • Vertical ? all position flags are aligned vertically.
  • Style Settings ? all position flags are aligned as indicated in the distribution style.
Position Flags Sets position flags grouping options.
For Main Parts A position flag is attached to the main parts of construction groups.
For Group Parts A position flag is attached to the sub-parts of construction groups.
For Loose Single Parts A position flag is attached to the component parts not belonging to a group.
For Bolts A position flag is attached to the bolts of a construction group.
Pos. Flag Template Here, you select the template for automatic distribution of position flags. The template controls what has to be displayed in the individual position flags, how the flag is structured and according to which criteria the distribution in the detail or in the view is effected.

You create a distribution template in the positioning command and only load it here.

Create Distribution template Click on this button to move directly to the dialog tab for setting the distribution templates.? You can modify the selected template or create new ones.
Fraction Style Provides settings to control the appearance of each annotation element in a 2D drawing.
Fraction Type Sets the type of a stacked fraction. If an annotation text is related to a dimension style (e.g. hole diameter), the fraction settings are used from that style. Here you can set either horizontal, diagonal stacking or no stacking.
  • No Stacking ? used as default when an old drawing is loaded. There are no stacked fractions visible until that style will be changed (requires an element update) or some new elements will be created.
  • Horizontal Stacking ? Aligns the stacked fraction horizontal. (e.g. 0 1?4').
  • Diagonal Stacking ? When set, stacks the fractions diagonally. (e.g. 0?').
Text display resulting from element property data (e.g. shape length, is shown as ?10:6 3/8?) could be different regarding how this text have been created. If it consists of basic MicroStation text that is already part of the DGN nothing will change. However, when a text is embedded into a OpenBridge Modeler element that is calculated and drawn on runtime, this text display will change to a better display style. It will happen when the element display is updated and includes fraction stacking too.
Alignment Sets the alignment of the stacked fraction of selected style annotation. The alignment influence how to the fraction display be aligned.
  • Bottom ? Aligns in the annotation element at bottom.
  • Center ? Aligns in the annotation element in the center.
  • Top ? Aligns in the annotation element at top.
Scaling Indicates the text size scaling of stacked fraction. The scaling values are set to 1.0 (of text size) by default.
