Tagging is controlled from the Template Drawing:
A VIEW will only be tagged if it has a LAYER with a PURPose of ‘LABA’.
If this layer exists then the tags will go into that layer.
The style of the tag will be cascaded from the owning layer, or taken from a symbol template in the case of component tags.
A typical symbol may look like this:
To control how the components of the Pipe Spool are tagged.
Firstly:
|
A LAYER with PURPose of ‘LABA’ |
||
|
Must own a TASK element with a SpPurpose of ‘TAGDEF’, |
||
|
Which owns 4 Task Parameter elements (TKPARA) |
||
|
With FUNCtion equal to ‘TEMPLATE’, ‘OFFSET’, ‘TPEN’ and ‘FPEN’ |
||
|
And suitable TPVALUEs. |
||
Example:
LAYER
TASK
TKPARA
FUNC ‘TEMPLATE’ TKPARA ‘/MySymbol’
TKPARA
FUNC ‘OFFSET’ TKPARA ’10 10’
TKPARA
FUNC ‘TPEN’ TKPARA ‘1’
TKPARA
FUNC ‘FPEN’ TKPARA ‘11’
When tagging views the system will create a Symbolic Label (SLAB) for each component, using the attributes of the above task parameters.
Secondly:
A LAYER with PURPose of ‘LABA’
Must own a TASK element with a SpPurpose of 'ARRLAB'
Which owns 6 Task Parameter elements (TKPARA)
And specific FUNCtions and suitable TPVALUEs
Example:
LAYER
TASK
TKPARA
FUNC ‘Top Side’ TKPARA ‘On’
TKPARA
FUNC ‘Bottom Side’ TKPARA ‘Off’
TKPARA
FUNC ‘Left Side’ TKPARA ‘On’
TKPARA
FUNC ‘Right Side TKPARA ‘On’
TKPARA
FUNC ‘Margin’ TKPARA ‘5’
TKPARA
FUNC ‘Minimum Gap’ TKPARA ‘1’
When tagging views the system will now arrange the Label around the view, using the attributes of the above task parameters.
