The dialog box has the properties for a sheet in a layout.
| Dimensions |
Settings for the sheet's size |
| The dropdown list |
A list of the sheets that you can use for the layout. To apply
a sheet, click the down arrow, and then in dropdown list select
the sheet that you need. TIP: The sheets that you see in the dropdown
list are sorted by how suitable each one is for the task at hand.
This means that EngView
has calculated which sheet offers the most suitable array for
the layout you are preparing. To inicate this, EngView uses the following
icons:
 . The sheet is suitable
for use. . The sheet is not suitable.
If a specific sheet is selected in the dropdown box and its values
are then changed, the selected sheet changes too and User-defined
appears. To add a predefined sheet that's currently not on the
list, click the browse button  ,
and then, from the dialog box that appears, select the sheet that
you need. |
| Max Width |
Sets the maximal horizontal length of the sheet. If a specific
sheet is selected in the dropdown list, its width and height values
appear in Max Width and Max Length. Changes can
be made to the width (in the Sheet area), but it cannot
exceed the value set in Max Width. |
| Max Height |
Sets the maximal vertical length of the sheet. If a specific
sheet is selected in the dropdown list, its width and height values
appear in Max Width and Max Length. Changes can
be made to the length (in the Sheet area), but it cannot
exceed the value set in Max Length. |
| Opt Sheet |
Opens a dialog from which you can select a sheet calculated
as the optimal for the active drawing. |
| Lock sheet |
Fixes the sheet preventing its repositioning each time a new
object is added. NOTE: If the check box is empty, each time a
new object is added to the sheet, the sheet changes its position
centering itself relative to the available objects taking into
account its default alignment — bottom-left, bottom-center, or
center. |
| Trim X |
Trims the horizontal excess areas between the endmost edges
of the active drawing and the sheet. |
| Trim Y |
Trims the vertical excess areas between the endmost edges of
the active drawing and the sheet. |
| |
| Sheet |
Settings for the sheet's size |
| Width |
Sets the sheet's horizontal length. Changes made here override
the default width value of a selected sheet. |
| Height |
Sets the sheet's vertical length. Changes made here override
the default length value of a selected sheet. |
| Margins |
Settings for the distances — top, left, bottom and right —
between the endmost edges of the active drawing and the sheet. |
| |
| Drawing |
Information about the rectangular area that encompasses the
array of layout 1ups. |
| Width |
The distance between the drawing's endmost horizontal edges. |
| Height |
The distance between the drawing's endmost vertical edges. |
| Margins |
Information about the area's margins — top, left, bottom and
right. Negative values mean that the drawing cannot fit into the
selected sheet. |
| Style name |
Sets the name of the style assigned to the object. This list
offers all styles, including the user-created ones. |
| |
| Visual Properties |
Settings of properties that control how the object is visualized
on the screen and on the production media |
| Color |
Sets the color of the object. The default is the color of the
assigned style. |
| Line width |
Sets the width of the constructional line/curve of the object.
By default the globally set line width for the object style is
set.
- The first edit box displays the line width measured in
units from 1 to 10. The value applies only to the way the
lines of the style will be displayed on the screen in the
1up, layout, print, CAM and 3D Presenter drawings; it does
not affect the line width in printing and tool path generation
in CAM samplemaking.
- In the second edit box, the line width is defined, measured
in points. Changes are not visible on the screen; however,
the value defines the line width of all objects of the selected
style in printing and for tool path generation in CAM samplemaking.
It is critical for CAM samplemaking: if the width of the respective
CAM tool is smaller than the line width specified here, a
different tool path may be generated, involving, for instance,
offsetting of wide lines for the cutting tool (for changes
of the line width settings of a style associated with the
cutting tool).
|
| Point size |
Sets the point size of the object. By default the globally
set point size is assigned for the object style. Value range:
[0.10, 15.00]. NOTE: Changes of this property are only applicable
to discrete points. |
| Pattern |
Sets the pattern of the constructional line or curve of the
object. By default the globally set line pattern is assigned for
the object style.
- The drop-down list contains predefined patterns and an
option (Custom) for creating custom patterns.
- The digit-entry field sets the proportional scaling of
the length of the pattern segments and the blank intervals
between them. Greater values result in longer segments and
intervals. Value range: [1, 10].
|
| Symbol |
Symbol is the mark set to indicate the style when listed in
a legend. Learn
more about symbols and how
to use them. |
| Z-depth |
Sets the level of visibility of the object in the drawing area.
When objects overlap, the object that you can see in the drawing
is the one whose style has the highest drawing depth. |
