Settings for Grid-Subsystems

Configuration Editor

Various settings for grid sub-systems can be specified in the Configuration Editor (isdconfigeditor.exe), namely:

• Line colour and Line type
• Settings for automatic annotation of grid sub-systems in derived drawings
• Settings for manual annotation of grid sub-systems

Line colour and Line type

Settings for automatic annotation of grid sub-systems in derived drawings

The automatic annotation of grid sub-systems is only possible for derived drawings. The settings for automatic annotation can be set in the Configuration Editor at Automatic drawing derivation > Production drawing > Annotations> Grid annotation.

Grid annotation

Here you can specify the settings for the annotation of the grid sub-systems in the Grid sub-system annotation parameter group (right pane). These are:

• Colour and the line type of the axes
• Excess lengths at line start and line end
  The line will be lengthened beyond the part by the specified value.
• Show name
  If this checkbox is active, the article number of the grid subsystem will be written into the text box of the annotation tag.
• Text alignment within the frame
• Type, colour and line type of the frame around the name.

Sub-system, Font

Here you specify the text parameters for the annotation:

• Font,
• Font number (only for HiCAD fonts),
• Colour and Size of the font,
• Layer,
• Orientation and Angle of rotation,
• Aspect ratio/inclination and width factor (only for HiCAD fonts) and
• the Weight of fonts (only for fonts of the operating system).

Sub-system, Line end symbol

Use these parameters to specify the type, the height and the length of the symbol.

Settings for manual annotation of grid sub-systems

The corresponding settings for manual annotations for grid sub-systems can be found in the Configuration Editor at Drawing > Annotations > Grid annotations.

The available parameters are identical with those for automatic annotation.
