Plant tags driving me crazy


Recommended Posts

Two complaints

1. The default font and size seems to be to a huge and groovy font (Alba matter, must have come off a 1972 record album cover), so for every plant grouping, I have to go in, select it and change the text. I tried selecting nothing, and checking the font I want, thinking this would set the new default, but no joy.

2. Can't I shorten the distance between the text and the 'joint'? I'm required to do this drawing at 1:200, and so it is really tight getting all the tags in.

3. I would prefer the tag text to appear at the center of the line, not above it, but text/alignment/center seems to have no effect on tags.

Any comments anyone? Is there an attributes area to standardize ALL tags?

Thanks-

to set the document default font;

deselect everything

Use the text menu commands to set your default

then place a plant object and the tags should have your new settings.

To change the font settings on placed plant objects;

Select all of the plant objects and then use the text menu commands. This will change them all.

Select all of the plant objects

This might help:

 
PROCEDURE SelectPIOByName; { ? Petri Sakkinen 2002-2007 } 

VAR
thePIO : HANDLE;
PIOname : STRING;

PROCEDURE GetThem (h : HANDLE);
BEGIN
SETSELECT(h);
END;


BEGIN
thePIO :=  FSACTLAYER; 
IF GETTYPE(thePIO) = 86 THEN BEGIN
	PIOname:=GETNAME(GETRECORD(thePIO, NUMRECORDS(thePIO)));  
	FOREACHOBJECT(GetThem, R IN [PIOname]);
END 
ELSE ALRTDIALOG('That is not a Plug-In Object');
END;

RUN(SelectPIOByName); 

Select a Plant, run the script (perhaps as a menu command), change font.

Font (n): the combination of typeface and size.
