Detail Style-Descriptions - Additional Text-Views tab

SettingDescription
Construction Axis Options for setting construction axis attributes.
Display Axis Displays the axes descriptions of the work frames perpendicular towards the current view. Text sizes and display form are adopted from the work frame properties.
With Axis Lines The actual axis is also displayed as 2D-line in the corresponding view.
Only Inner Axes Only those axes are displayed which are situated within the determined overall dimensions of the view including a snap range.
Only once Displays the axes only once
Axis text position Determines the axis text position, either one of the corner or per standard style -Like Default-Settings.
Line style Sets standard style template, like default-settings template is selected here.
Text Distance Here, you enter the distance of axes label towards the last outer dimension chain.
Gap Sets the gap between axes labels and parts.
Size Sets the size of the display axe.
Axis Display Here, you enter a snap range up to which the axes situated outside the overall dimensions are still displayed.
Length (%) Here, you enter the relative length of the axis line (in %) related to the overall dimensions. Normally, the axis line is running towards the outer edges of the display (= 100%). If you enter a value bigger than 100, the line will be extended over these edges. If you enter a value between 1 and 100, the line will only partly be displayed from the bottom resp. from the left, e.g. to hint only at it in views.
Shape Label Settings for shape labels.
Text Format string

Here you can input a format template composed of fixed and variable text components for labeling parts. The various placeholders $(…) are thus replaced with the current values of the respective part.

Possible placeholders:

$(N) Name
$(Ns) Short Name
$(P) Position number
$(S) Shipping number
$(M) Material description
$(E) Elevation distance to view plane
$(R1) Note 1
$(R2) Note 2
$(X, etc.) Special treatment of empty texts
Additional data fields are supported in the Text Format, where you can easily pick required Data field and can align with object. They are:
$(PG) Group Position Number
$(PA) Assembly Position Number
$(AC) Area Class
$(TN) Total Count
$(DC) Display Class
$(FC) Part Family Class
$(LN) Length
$(WG) Weight
$(SX) $(SY) $(SZ) Start X | Y | Y
$(EX) $(EY) $(EZ) End X | Y | Y
$(IX) $(IY) $(IZ) OInsert X | Y | Y

Optimize Duplicates Determines method to optimizing equal labels that are found inside a maximum range.
  • Ignore
  • Delete Label
  • Merge and delete
This is considered as a 1st step of optimization.
Optimize Collisions Determines method to optimizing colliding labels that are found inside a maximum range.
  • Ignore
  • Move Label
This is considered as a 2nd step of optimization.
Label Distance Sets minimum distance between label and object border (0.0 by template).
Merge Shape / Merge Bolt Sets the vale that merges the shape and bolt annotation with shape labels.

Individual Shape labeling

In the representation of general plans you have individual influence over the labeling of parts thanks to freely definable display groups. You can determine whether, how and where a part should be labeled. In addition to the general style sheets listed above, various standard labels may also be selected, as well as individual labels for specific parts. Further information is available under the description of the "2D display in general views" in this manual..
