Enables you to position parameters directly onto the detail sketch. Parameters are derived from the component on which the detail sketch is placed. Each line of data in the grid displays a box at the selected X,Y location on the detail sketch. When you select a row in the grid, the corresponding detail sketch parameter box is considered active and displays as blue in the detail sketch viewing area. An inactive detail sketch parameter box displays as red. In the following example, the ANGLE row is selected in the grid, making the corresponding box active.
Parameter
Specifies the user-supplied detail sketch identifier.
Method
Specifies how the required data is to be extracted from the piping object data (POD) file for isometric drawing output. The following table lists the supported methods, along with any required input parameters.
Selected Method |
Required Input Parameter |
Description |
---|---|---|
Copy |
Type any valid attribute or property of the component, its parent pipeline, or its material. |
Returns the value of the specified property. This can include the part number, the weld number, or any other known property. |
SectionAxis |
X |
Returns the X- or Y-axis label. The Y-axis label for a section through the component, based on the component HeaderOrientation property is as follows:
The X-axis label for a section through the component, based on the component HeaderOrientation property is as follows:
|
SectionAngleFromClosestAxis |
Specify a component property, such as BranchAngle, or attribute that contains an angle. For example, you can type C.BranchAngle or C.COMPONENT-ATTRIBUTE1. |
Converts the input angle, which is 0-360, to an angle based on the closest axis.
|
MainWeldNumber |
N/A |
Returns the REPEAT-WELD-IDENTIFIER of the main (header) weld of an olet. |
BranchWeldNumber |
N/A |
Returns the REPEAT-WELD-IDENTIFIER of the branch weld of an olet, set-on or tee. |
SupportWeldNumber |
Type 1-n. |
Returns the REPEAT-WELD-IDENTIFER of the nth support weld. |
LugPartNumber |
Type 1-n. |
Returns the REPEAT-PART-NUMBER of the nth lug |
AdditionalMaterialPartNumber |
Type 1-n. |
Returns the REPEAT-PART-NUMBER of the nth additional material |
Input
Defines the parameter required by the selected Method. Select a parameter from the list, or type the parameter directly into the box. For more information about methods and their associated input parameters, refer to the above table.
CharHeight
Defines the height of the character on the isometric drawing. It also sets the size of the box used to place text. The default setting is 3.
XPos
Defines the X-position of the detail sketch identifier relative to the bottom left corner of the detail sketch.
YPos
Defines the Y-position of the detail sketch identifier relative to the bottom left corner of the detail sketch.
Font
Specifies the type of font used to display text.
Justification
Defines the justification for the text. You can select Left, Centre, or Right.
Layer
Specifies the layer of the CAD file to use.
Colour
Specifies the index number that represents a specific color as defined in the output drawing software.
Rotation
Defines the angle that text is allowed to be rotated in output.
