The Alternative Text (AText) options enable you to change or remove any text on the isometric drawing. AText operates by assigning a unique identification number to each standard text string. The software refers to this number whenever the text string that the number represents needs to change. By definition, a standard text string can be a single character, a single word, or a group of words. Furthermore, some AText is set, by default, to an all- blank word. Some ATexts also have additional parameters that can be used to output extra information from the PCF into the isometric drawing.

Additional information about AText is available in Appendix: Alternative Text Reference Data.

  • Although the AText feature has a considerable degree of built-in flexibility, you must exercise a certain amount of care when defining your own words, particularly with respect to word lengths. As a general rule, newly defined words or word strings should be about equal in length or shorter than the text that is being replaced.

  • You can use AText to control the output of specification break notes. If AText is set to blank, the note is disabled.
