DTEXTS
Function:
Controls the
material description part of item descriptions
Description:
A complete item description in a material list consists of the geometric description (derived from the attributes of a DTEXT element) and the material description (derived from the attributes of an MTEXT element).
The text in MTEXT and DTEXT elements is defined in PARAGON by setting the attributes of MTEXT and DTEXT to the text required. Both elements have three attributes which can contain text:
•
The three attributes of DTEXT are RTEXT, STEXT and TTEXT;
•
The three attributes of MTEXT are XTEXT, YTEXT and ZTEXT.
The default attributes whose text will be displayed on the material list are RTEXT and XTEXT. If the other attributes have been set in the DESIGN database, the user can choose to display the STEXT or TTEXT using the DTEXT command, and the YTEXT or ZTEXT using the MTEXT command.
The DTEXTS IGNORE command allows the user to suppress the geometric description completely.
Using different attributes can be used, for example, to store descriptions in different languages.
Examples:
DTEXts Stext
Sets the description to the text held in the STEXT attribute.
DTEXts Ttext
Sets the description to the text held in the TTEXT attribute.
DTEXts Rtext
Sets the description to the text held in the XTEXT attribute. This is the default.
