UNDERLAYPLOTNAME

Function:

Allows the user to plot Isodraft’s output on top of background plots previously created in an AVEVA E3D Design drawing module.

Description:

The user can superimpose an Isodraft PLOT file onto an underlay plot. This facility is used, for example, for underprinting isometric plots with company-standard drawing sheet information. The user can specify up to eight underlay plots, giving them numbers so that they can be switched off if required.

Examples:

UNDERLAY /BKGRNDS/STYLE1

The drawing stored in the file /BKGRNDS/STYLE1 will be plotted on the same sheet as the next isometric plot. By default, this will be underlay number 1.

UNDERLAY /BKGRNDS/STYLE2 2

The drawing stored in file /BKGRNDS/STYLE2 will be plotted on the same sheet as the next isometric plot.

UNDERLAY OFF

The plot given as underlay 1 will not be plotted with the next isometric plot.

UNDERLAY OFF 2

The plot given as underlay 2 will not be plotted with the next isometric plot.

UNDERLAY OFF ALL

No underlay will be plotted.
