Attribute Processes

Contains a consolidation of commands, each section detailed below.

Keyboard Command: BlkAttPrp

• Backwards: (On/Off) Allows you to set the backward status of a group of attributes in a selection set of blocks. If On is chosen, the program will set the backward bit causing the string to appear as though it had been mirrored. If Off is chosen, the program will restore the line to normal left to right text.
• Color: Set the absolute color of text in the designated attribute fields of a selection set of blocks. Simply choose the blocks to process, the attribute fields to process, and the new color.
• Delete: Delete the string contents or completely remove the attribute from the insert.
• Line:
  • Over: Adds a line over the attribute text in the designated attribute fields of a selection set of blocks.
  • Under: Adds a line under the attribute text in the designated attribute fields of a selection set of blocks.
• Height:
  • Set: Sets the height of all attributes in the selection set of blocks to the new height you type in.
  • Scale: Scales the height of attributes in a selection set of blocks by the scale factor you designate. If you enter a value less than one, the attributes will decrease in size. If you enter a value greater than one, the attributes will get larger.
• Layer: Set the layer of designated attribute fields in a selection set of blocks. Simply choose the blocks to process, the attribute fields to process, and the new layer desired.
• Oblique: Sets the oblique angle of all attributes in a selection set of blocks to an absolute angle. An oblique angle of 10° to 20° usually looks best. This factor can be applied to multiple styles of text in the same selection set.
• Rotate:
  • Absolute: Sets the rotation angle of all attributes in the selection set of blocks to the absolute angle entered.
  • Relative: Sets the rotation angle relative to the object's current rotation angle by adding the value you enter. A negative number can be entered to decrease rotation angle values.
• Style: Set the text style for all attributes in a selection set of blocks. Simply select the desired blocks and choose from the list of all currently defined text styles and press the OK button.
• UpsideDown: (On/Off) Set the upside down status of a group of attributes in a selection set of blocks. If On is chosen, the program will set the upside down bit causing the string to appear upside down. If Off is chosen, the program will restore the line to normal upright text.
• Visibility: (On/Off) Set the visible status of a group of attributes in a selection set of blocks. If On is chosen, the program will set the visible bit causing the string to appear on the drawing. If Off is chosen, the program will make the attribute invisible, while at all times maintaining its value.
• Width: Set the width factor of all attributes in a selection set of blocks to an absolute angle. A width factor of 0.5 to 1.5 usually looks best. This factor can be applied to multiple styles of text in the same selection set.
