(This functionality is available with the Profiles and Design module)
Controlling the CAD output of text for attributes in tables.
The Table Settings option can be chosen from the CAD Output dialog. This dialog is displayed after selecting the CAD Output command from the Profiles task in a long section view.
Table Settings dialog box
| Item | Used to |
| Values All settings in the Values group apply to the values of the following long section point attributes that are displayed in a table; Chainage, Distance, Elevation, Cut, Fill, Identifier, Code, Description, Intersection Angles. |
|
| From Surface: | Insert intersection points into the "From Surface" as defined in the Define End Areas dialog box. |
| Font: | Set the text font of the attribute. The font is selected from a list box for LISCAD CAD. For MicroStation V7, key in a legal font number. For MicroStation V8, key in a legal alphanumeric font name. For AutoCAD key in a legal alpha numeric font name. Refer to the Font topic for further information. |
| Origin: | Select the origin of the attribute. Refer to the Origin topic for further information. |
| Height: | Set the height on a plan of the point attribute text that is output to a CAD system. The units will be in millimetres or inches on the plan depending on the units set in the Utilities/Configure/Units command. |
| Width: | Set the width on the plan of the point attribute text that is output to a CAD system. The units will be in millimetres or inches on the plan depending on the units set in the Utilities/Configure/Units command. |
| Weight: | Set the line weight of the point attribute text that is output to a CAD system. For LISCAD
CAD, the weight entered is the thickness of the line when plotted at the scale of the plan to
be created. The value entered for weight depends on the Utilities/Configure/Units linear settings.
For metres enter the weight in mm, otherwise enter the weight in inches. For MicroStation V7, select a value from 0 to 15. For MicroStation V8, select a value 0 to 31 or select ByLevel. Please refer to the MicroStation documentation. |
| Slant: | Set the slant of the point attribute text that is output to a CAD system. The slant is in decimal degrees measured clockwise from the vertical. |
| Colour: | List the 256 colours that are available for selection to be used for point attributes that are output to a CAD system. |
| Reverse: | Select whether the text displayed is to be reversed (Read from the left in order of increasing distances) or not (Read conventionally from the right hand side of the plan. |
| Proportional: | Select whether the font used is to be proportional or non proportional. The effect of a non proportional font is to evenly space the characters and numbers. |
| Labels All settings in the Labels group apply to the label names of the following long section point attributes that are displayed in a table; Chainage, Distance, Elevation, Cut, Fill, Identifier, Code, Description, Intersection Angles. |
|
| Font: | Set the text font of the attribute. The font is selected from a list box for LISCAD CAD. For MicroStation V7, key in a legal font number. For MicroStation V8, key in a legal alphanumeric font name. For AutoCAD key in a legal alpha numeric font name. Refer to the Font topic for further information. |
| Origin: | Select the origin of the attribute. Refer to the Origin topic for further information. |
| Height: | Set the height on a plan of the point attribute text that is output to a CAD system. The units will be in millimetres or inches on the plan depending on the units set in the Utilities/Configure/Units command. |
| Width: | Set the width on the plan of the point attribute text that is output to a CAD system. The units will be in millimetres or inches on the plan depending on the units set in the Utilities/Configure/Units command. |
| Weight: | Set the line weight of the point attribute text that is output to a CAD system. For LISCAD
CAD, the weight entered is the thickness of the line when plotted at the scale of the plan to
be created. The value entered for weight depends on the Utilities/Configure/Units linear settings.
For metres enter the weight in mm, otherwise enter the weight in inches. For MicroStation V7, select a value from 0 to 15. For MicroStation V8, select a value 0 to 31 or select ByLevel. Please refer to the MicroStation documentation. |
| Slant: | Set the slant of the point attribute text that is output to a CAD system. The slant is in decimal degrees measured clockwise from the vertical. |
| Colour: | List the 256 colours that are available for selection to be used for point attributes that are output to a CAD system. |
| Proportional: | Select whether the font used is to be proportional or non proportional. The effect of a non proportional font is to evenly space the characters and numbers. |
| Layers/Levels | This group's name changes according to the type of CAD output that is selected. Layers for
LISCAD CAD and AutoCAD, Levels for MicroStation. Layer or Level names are entered for the following
attributes; Offset, Elevation, Cut, Fill, Identifier, Code and Description. Set the CAD layer (Applies to LISCAD CAD and AutoCAD). The layer name can be up to 32 alpha numeric characters. Set the CAD level (Applies to MicroStation). The level may be any integer from 0 to 63 for V7, or up to 32 alpha numeric characters for V8. |
| OK: | Close the dialog and save the current settings. |
| Cancel: | Close the dialog without applying the changes. |
