Defines the attributes that Isogen plots on the drawing frame. You enter the data using a grid.
Open the grid, and then define the attributes listed below as needed.
-
Attribute specifies the name of the attribute to include in the report. Select an attribute in the list.
-
Text Height sets the character height of the attribute text. Type a value in millimeters.
-
X sets the X-coordinate location of the attribute text in the title block. Type a value in millimeters.
-
Y sets the Y-coordinate location of the attribute text in the title block. Type a value in millimeters.
-
Font defines the font to be used. Select the appropriate font in the Font list.
-
Barcode specifies the barcode standard. Type the number that corresponds to the appropriate barcode.
-
1 - Barcode 39
-
2 - Barcode 25
-
3 - Barcode 25 Interleaved
-
-
Text Width sets the character width of the attribute text. Type a value in millimeters.
-
Justification sets the alignment of the text on the drawing frame. Specify Left, Right, or Centre.
In many CAD or graphics packages, the standard behavior for text justification is within a pseudo box requiring at least two points. The size of the pseudo box determines the location of the text based on the Justification setting. In the example below, the pipe symbol ( | ) represents the left and right borders of the pseudo box.
However, the Justification setting in Isogen revolves around a single X,Y point. For each scenario, Isogen uses the X,Y point as the focal point for text placement so that the actual text string aligns accordingly. In the example below, the caret symbol ( ^ ) represents the X.Y point.
-
Layer identifies the layer to which the definition is applied. Select the required number from the list.
-
Colour specifies the number that represents the color number as defined in the output drawing system (MicroStation or AutoCAD).
-
Rotation Angle defines the angle of rotation in degrees clockwise.
-
Text Weight controls the character thickness. Type a value between 1 and 9. Used only for MicroStation.
-
Truncation Length defines the number of output characters.
Defines:
Option Switch - n/a
I-Configure - DrawingFrame.Attributes
-
Many of the drawing frame attributes originate from the pipe runs in the model. During an extraction, the software obtains the values for pipe run attributes from the run with the largest NPD.
-
The value that displays on the Attributes icon is a count of how many drawing frame attributes have been defined. The example below indicates the 15 attributes are currently defined.
