POS_PRO_PRO_SYMB = <value>

• Defines if the profile symbol should be added to the note.

• The values accepted are:

  YES	The profile symbol will be added after the position number of the note. If no position number is included, the symbol will be first in the note.
  NONE	Position number will not be included in the note.

POS_PRO_SYMB=<value>

• These keywords define the symbol surrounding the position number.

• Defines the symbol for profiles.

POS_PLA_SYMB=<value>

• Same as POS_PRO_SYMB but for plates.

POS_BRA_SYMB=<value>

• Same as POS_PRO_SYMB but for brackets.

POS_CLI_SYMB=<value>

• Same as POS_PRO_SYMB but for clips.

• The values accepted by these keywords are:

  CIRCLE
  SQUARE
  TRIANGLE
  NONE	No symbol.

POS_PRO_TEXT=<value>

• These keywords define the additional information to be added after the position number.

• Defines the information for profiles.

POS_PLA_TEXT=<value>

• Same as POS_PRO_TEXT but for plates.

POS_BRA_TEXT=<value>

• Same as POS_PRO_TEXT but for brackets.

POS_CLI_TEXT=<value>

• Same as POS_PRO_TEXT but for clips.

• The values accepted by these keywords are:

  DIMENSION	Part dimensions.
  SYMBOL	Material symbol (Effective only for profiles).
  SYMB_O_DIM	Material symbol and dimensions. (Effective only for profiles).
  NONE	No additional information.

POS_PRO_QUAL=<value>

• These keywords define the quality code to be added at the end of the note.

• Add quality code for profiles.

POS_PLA_QUAL=<value>

• Same as POS_PRO_QUAL but for plates.

POS_BRA_QUAL=<value>

• Same as POS_PRO_QUAL but for brackets.

POS_CLI_QUAL=<value>

• Same as POS_PRO_QUAL but for clips.

• The values accepted by these keywords are:

  YES	The quality code will be added at the end of the note, preceded by a space, " " if the dimension string is presented, without the space otherwise.
  NONE	Quality code will not be presented.

The system default setting for position number notes corresponds to the following set of keywords and values in a default file:

POS_LIN_SYMB=ARROW
POS_SUR_SYMB=DOT
POS_PRO_SYMB=TRIANGLE
POS_PLA_SYMB=CIRCLE
POS_BRA_SYMB=CIRCLE
POS_CLI_SYMB=CIRCLE
POS_PRO_TEXT=SYMB_O_DIM
POS_PLA_TEXT=DIMENSION
POS_BRA_TEXT=DIMENSION
POS_CLI_TEXT=DIMENSION
POS_PRO_QUAL=NONE
POS_PLA_QUAL=NONE
POS_BRA_QUAL=NONE
POS_CLI_QUAL=NONE

AS_REFSYMB_LINE=<value>

• These keywords define the reference symbol for the assembly name notes.

• Defines the symbol to be set at the start of the reference line, when the identified part is represented in the picture by a line, for example a stiffener or a bracket drawn as a symbolic line.

AS_REF SYMB_SURF=<value>

• Same as AS_REFSYMB_LINE but for when a surface is identified, for example a plate or a bracket drawing in plane view.

• The values accepted by these keywords are:

  ARROW	A narrow arrow.
  BAR	A small line perpendicular to the reference line.
  DOT	A small circle.
  NONE	No reference symbol.

AS1_SYMB=<value>

• These keywords are used to control the identification notes.

AS2_SYMB=<value>

AS3_SYMB=<value>

AS4_SYMB=<value>

• Note symbol used for general purpose strings (GPS).

  Note: Strings used in a customer specific way, traditionally used to define assembly names and are irrelevant as assemblies when the assembly planning application is used for assembly definition.

AS_SYMB=<value>

• Same as AS1_SYMB but assemblies.

• The valid values are the same as those for position number notes plus the values below:

  RECTANGLE

  OCTAGON

  RIGHT_ARROW_NOTEBOX

  LEFT_ARROW_NOTEBOX

• The default value for the assembly notes is NONE.

UPDATE_NOTE

• When given, the mull modelling notes for position numbers, bevel and assembly will be updated with correct model information when views are recreated. The settings of the note will be kept.

• If the model object that the note refers to has been deleted, only the reference line will be kept and the color changed to blue.

UPD_NOTE_DEFAULT = DRAWING or DEFAULT

• When notes are recreated as described for UPDATE_NOTE the parameter UPD_NOTE_DEFAULT controls from were the definition of the note is taken.

• Normally it is set to DRAWING and the setting will be unique for each note, but can be switched to DEFAULT. The values will then be taken from the current default setting in the system.

PIPECROSS = <value>

• Defines that a cross should be drawn in the center of a standard hole.

• The valid values are:

  PER[MANENT]
  TEM[PORARY]
  NO	default

WELDINFO= <mode>

• These parameters (WELDINFO= <mode> and WELDTEXT= <text>) make it possible to display the size of fillet welds. This can be done for outer contours of panels and for stiffener traces.

• The valid values of <mode> are:

  NONE	No weld information (default).
  TEM[PORARY]	Display during generation.
  PER[MANENT]	Add to the drawing.

WELDTEXT= <text>

• <text> is the leading text presented in front of the weld leg length.
