Description
Two new options have been introduced to keep diagrams nice and clean where text will be displayed on connectors only when some criteria are met. The options described below are valid for pipelines, instrument lines and HVAC lines.
|
Auto hide text by leg length |
|
|
This option allows to determine a minimum size for the tallest connector leg where text will be visible. If the tallest leg of a connector will be shorter than the default then the text will be automatically hidden and the system will notify about this in the System Message Log. It is possible to use metric as well as imperial units to determine the distance value. To disable this option, set it to 0 or just use blank. |

Auto hide text by text fit |
|
|
This option will hide the text on the connector in the case the tallest leg of this connector will be shorter than the text that is currently displayed on it. If this happens the system will notify this in the System Message Log. |
|
Both options will work when the connector size is changed. This means that text on connectors will be visible after you modify above options and accept changes. To make it work the connector size must be changed.
To enable text that has become invisible because of these options, the ‘Show Text’ option in the Shape Context menu must be ticked.
Benefits
There is a possibility to hide text on connectors because of the connector leg length.
Compatibility Constraints
