Drawing data

Object drawing data can be used to override code file drawing rules for specific objects. Some data settings can also be changed for selected objects by macros in point group editing. List of available macros can be found from the end of this page.

Style

Symbol id, line drawing style or area hatch pattern. Browse button allows style selection from common styles 1-9.

Color

Color used for drawing. Can be given either as a color table index 1-30 or as a real RGB value. The browse button opens either color table or RGB selection depending on the field value. With the Shift-key browsing can be forced to the RGB selection or with the Ctrl-key to the color table. Value 0 uses code file code or font color.

dXY / dAB, Meters, Angle

Text offset values which are added to the actual text coordinates. If the Angle setting is on, offset values affect in text direction and the parameter order is always AB (A horizontal and B vertical to the text direction) regardless of used units. If the Angle setting is off, offset values affect in axis direction. If the Meters setting is on, offset values are in meters and their order is same as file coordinate order (usually X to north and Y to east). Otherwise values are in millimeters and they use always mathematical order. Switching checkboxes changes the values using current paper scale.

Size

Text or point size. Positive value is in millimeters and negative value in meters. For texts value zero uses label size from the point view settings.

Width

Line width. Positive value is in millimeters and negative value in meters.

Interval

Area hatch line interval. Positive value is in millimeters and negative value in meters.

Alignment

Text alignment position according following picture:

Value 15 means single line numeric value alignment to the decimal point. This works in screen and printing, but is converted to value 5, when transferred to other systems.

For points this affects point view label displaying.

Clear

Clears drawing data.
