Page Macro | This field sets the default page macro that appears in the New Page dialog. A page macro is any macro that you wish to be placed on every newly created page. An entry made here will not affect any existing pages. Use the Browse button to select a macro file. |
Title Block | This field sets the default title block macro that will be prompted in the New Page dialog. Changing the default title block will not update existing pages. To change the title block on existing pages use the Replace Title Block function. |
Scale | This field specifies the scale to be used for the page format. Scales other than 1:1 are mainly used for panel layouts so that symbols will appear at less than full size. |
Page Format Options | This group of settings affects the page formats used
in the project:
Use the Page Format field to select the page format that will be the default format when creating a new page. Use the browse button to select a format file. Formats are stored by default in the OpenUtilities Substation PageFormat directory. The # of Digits in Line Number field sets the number of digits that will be displayed for line numbers on the page. Extra zeroes will be added to the line number as needed. For example, if you enter a value of 3, then line number 1 will be displayed as 001.If you wish to include the page number at the beginning of each line number, select the Include Page Number as a Line Number Prefix check box. For example, line number 001 on page 2 will be displayed as 2001. If you wish line numbering to continue on following pages rather than starting over, select the Continuous Line Numbers check box.Existing pages will be updated when these page format options are changed. |
