Sets the general properties of the selected design coordinate system.

Standard

Parent System

Displays the parent system for the object.

Name

Specifies the name of the object.

Description

Specifies a description for the object.

Type

Specifies the type of coordinate system to place. Select one of the following options:

Grids

Uses East, North, and Elevation to define the three coordinate system axes. Coordinate system can only be rotated with respect to the Elevation axis (Z-axis). Naming rules for the elevation and grid plane names generally use E, N, and EL. Grid lines are placed by default.

MHGrids

Uses East, North, and Elevation to define the three coordinate system axes. Coordinate system can be rotated about the East, North, or Elevation axis. Naming rules for the elevation and grid plane names generally use E, N, and EL. Grid lines are placed by default.

Ship

Uses X, Y, and Z to define the three coordinate system axes. Naming rules for the elevation (Z) and grid plane names generally use F, L, and D. Grid lines are not placed by default but can be placed if you want.

Global X

Specifies the origin X-coordinate of the design coordinate system. The X-coordinate is given in relation to the Global Coordinate System.

Global Y

Specifies the origin Y-coordinate of the design coordinate system. The Y-coordinate is given in relation to the Global Coordinate System.

Global Z

Specifies the origin Z-coordinate of the design coordinate system. The Z-coordinate is given in relation to the Global Coordinate System.

North (Y) Axis Direction

Specifies the compass bearing of the Y-axis of the coordinate system relative to the Y-axis of the Global Coordinate System.

Drawing Style

You can use the Drawing Style property to suppress or include user-selected grid entities in a drawing document. When you create a drawing view style in the Drawings and Reports task, you can specify a filter that looks for the Drawing Style and uses that property to specify how the grid entities are symbolized in the drawing document.

Drawing Style 1

Specifies the drawing style in which grid entities display in your drawings.

SHARED Tip You can add your own custom drawing styles by adding them to the [Product Folder]\CatalogData\Bulkload\DataFiles\GridsDrawingStyleIntf.xls. You must also add the property values to the codelist defined in [Product Folder]\CatalogData\Bulkload\DataFiles\GridsCodelist.xls. The modified workbooks must to be bulkloaded for the changes to display.

Drawing styles for grid entities are not available for hanger drawings.

Drawing Style 2

Specifies the second drawing style in which grid entities display in your drawings.

SHARED Tip You can add your own custom drawing styles by adding them to the [Product Folder]\CatalogData\Bulkload\DataFiles\GridsDrawingStyleIntf.xls. You must also add the property values to the codelist defined in [Product Folder]\CatalogData\Bulkload\DataFiles\GridsCodelist.xls. The modified workbooks must to be bulkloaded for the changes to display.
