| Distance Parameters

A: The distance of the first level dimension, which
are for the pipe, equipment and structure dimensions.
- B: The distance of
the second level dimension, which are equipment and structure dimensions.
- C: The distance of
the third level dimension, which is global dimension.
- D: Reference the
bitmap image to define the distance here.
- E: Reference the
bitmap image to define the distance here.
- E1: If there are
several elevation texts to point to other pipes in the nearby area, the leader
lines of the elevation text should overlap. So there needs to be a gap distance
defined among these leader lines. The default is 1 mm.
- E2: The distance
between the starting leader lines of the elevation text, which is the nearest
leader line from the view frame. The default is 50 mm.
- Gap A: Reference
the bitmap image to define the distance here.

Pipe/Equipment: It is the distance of
the label of the pipes or equipments.
Elevation: If the adjacent pipes outside

Numbers > External View topic for additional information.
Structural: It is for the structure
column annotation distance.
