The group “Placement”:
Provides the respective fields for entering X and Y coordinate values defining the element position. You
can also specify the arrow rotation angle that will determine the view direction.
Color, Level, Priority, Layer and [Font] are defined in the same way as in other T-FLEX elements.
View Notation
To create a view notation, press the automenu icon or the key .
A view notation starts rubberbanding on the screen. Move the pointer to the desired position on the drawing
and click to fix the element. In this way, the view notation will be positioned in the absolute coordinates
that can be entered exactly in the “View Properties” dialog box (see below).
For attachment to a 2D node, you need to use the option (the automenu icon ) or rely on the object
snapping. As the pointer approaches a 2D node or a line intersection, the respective entities are highlighted.
You can then click .
The default text is automatically created next to the leader of the view notation. The first such created
element is labeled “A-A”, the subsequent ones – the respective letters in the alphabetical order, as “B-B”,
etc.
You can copy the text from an existing section or arrow view. To do this, press the automenu icon or the
key . Next, select by the mouse the desired arrow view notation or section.
