Unset Roughness Symbol. Creates the notation of unset roughness
. To define the symbol inside the parentheses, set the flag
“Symbol in parentheses”.
Leader Line. This parameter sets the mode of creating the leader line when
attaching the roughness to a line or a graphic entity.
Old Drawing Style. This flag is reserved for switching between old and new
roughness notation standards when applicable.
In the “Arrow” section you can define the type and size of the leader arrow.
The parameters represented by textual strings allow use of variables (the
variables must be surrounded in braces).
The section “Option” contains only one auxiliary parameter– “Show Dialog
for each Created Element”. If this parameter is enabled, then the roughness
parameters dialog will automatically appear after defining the roughness
position in the roughness creation command (the option ).
This mode allows working in the same way as in previous versions of T-FLEX CAD – by specifying the
roughness position in the drawing first, and then defining its parameters.
Various samples of the roughness notation symbol are shown below:
Roughness Parameters Dialog
You can also define roughness parameters using the parameters dialog accessible by the automenu option:
Set Roughness Symbol Parameters
The parameters available on the tabs of that dialog duplicate the parameters in the properties window.
Besides that, the parameters dialog contains several additional parameters. First of all, those are the systemwide
parameters: level, layer, priority, color. There is also an additional tab in the dialog that contains font
parameters. There you can define the required font parameters to display the roughness text.
Defining Default Parameters
The default parameters that will be applied to all newly created roughness symbols can be defined in various
ways.
First of all, those can be defined using the parameters dialog (the option ). To do that, call this dialog
before creating a roughness. The parameters defined in it will be copied over to the parameters of each newly
created roughness symbol.
Besides that, you can save parameters defined for any roughness being created (or edited) as the default, by
clicking the button in the command's properties window.
