Itemisation (2-D)

2-D Dimensioning + Text > Text > > Itemise part 

The functions and selection options of the Item Number menu allow you to assign annotation texts to 2-D parts. These may include the item number or additional texts as well as any combinations of part attributes, database attributes and texts. The item number is also displayed in curly brackets following the part name in the part structure of the ICN, e.g. {5}. If the item number is a negative value, e.g. –5, it is displayed in the form {5*}.

Settings before itemising:


If you make subsequent changes to the part and database attributes, existing annotations are automatically updated.

 

Once you have activated the function, the system displays the Item number dialogue window, where you can select the annotation file and define the item number and define the orientation.

If you right-click to activate an existing itemisation, a context menu with various other functions will be displayed.
