| Item | Used to |
| Layer: | Set the CAD layer (Applies to LISCAD CAD or AutoCAD). The layer name can be any integer number from 1 to 32000 for LISCAD CAD and up to 32 character alpha numeric name for AutoCAD |
| Level: | 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. |
| Text | |
| Height: | Set the height on a plan of the label 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 label 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. |
| Colour: | List the 256 colours that are available for selection to be used for label text that is output to a CAD system. |
| Font: | Set the text font of the label. 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. |
| Slant: | Set the slant of the label text that is output to a CAD system. The slant is in decimal degrees measured clockwise from the vertical. |
| Direction: | Set the direction of the label text that is output to a CAD system. The slant is in decimal degrees measured clockwise from the vertical. |
| Weight: | Set the line weight of the label 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. |
| 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. |
| OK: | Close the dialog and save the current settings. |
| Cancel: | Close the dialog without applying the changes. |
