Intelligent Text Tab

The Intelligent Text tab is used to select an output format for the positional code words used to request the position of certain elements.These expand to a string providing the location expressed in the ENU (East North Up) coordinate system, or as a purely numerical output (Numbers only).

To accomplish this, two attributes are provided for a number of elements in the Draw database (including DEPT, REGI, DRWG, SHEE, VIEW, LAYE). The setting of these attributes determines the output format used by the positional code words, and are determined by the selection made in the Intelligent Text tab. The same output format is used throughout a given layer.
