Tag Number Adjustment - Tag Area Extension

Orthographics Manager has the basic idea to place the inside labels inside the view. However, sometimes it is necessary to place some inside labels beyond the view frame when the drawing has many labeled items inside the view (especially near the view frame). This options in this page allows you to extend the inside labels beyond the view frame. The extension distance is defined using the Range in percentage fields.

Accessed by selecting the Tag Number Adjustment > Tag Area Extension node in the Settings interface.

Define the properties per the fields described below and Save the changes.

The Close icon closes the Project Settings interface, so make sure your changes are saved. You will be prompted to save them it you haven't already.

The Load Defaults icon in the main Settings interface will return the settings of the options page to their original values.

In the next figure, a 30 percent range was applied to the Right:

Notice the virtual view window (red broken line) and how the tag number annotation has been extended to the right of the view area.

Symmetric When this option is enabled, when you select a percentage for any side, that percentage will be applied to all sides.
