The following types of modules make automatic placement of drawing annotations possible:

  • Point generators

  • Geometric analyzers

  • Annotation control generators

  • Content modules

  • Positioning modules

  • Leader modules (Label Rule Manager only)

While each type of module performs a different role in placing a regular label, matchline label, dimension, or north arrow on the drawing sheet, each module is only compatible with a certain subset of other modules. Each module schema file specifies these module-to-module compatibilities. Additionally, you can edit these module compatibilities.

Although you can combine any modules in an .xml template, there are module code restrictions. As a result, the drop-down list box for each module type that displays in the Rule Manager only contains modules that are compatible with the modules currently selected.

If you combined modules in the .xml template that are incompatible according to the schema, the software accepts the template and displays the incompatible modules in the rule manager. However, if you change one of the incompatible modules in the rule manager, the software automatically removes that module from the drop-down list box.
