Note: Atext 243 produces the flat side message for reducers in orthogonal piping and Atext 283 is used for reducers in non-orthogonal piping.
Isodraft indicates the flat side of an eccentric reducer by default only when the reducer is skewed. By using Atexts 243 and 283, the user can have the flat side indicated, or not, for skewed-only or all reducers.
