Create Text Template

DRAW Administrator Guide

Label Library : Create Text Template

Unlike SYTMs, TXTMs have no members. Instead, they hold text strings (in their BTEX attributes) to which users can refer when creating GLABs to add to drawings. These text strings can include #‑coded intelligent text, which is replaced by the corresponding attribute settings from the Design DB when the labels display on the drawing sheets.

Each TXTM automatically includes a Label Frame, although this can be switched off if it is not required.

To view the effects of adding individual TXTMs as the user builds up the LALB contents, open a 2D View window and add the LALB to the display. The administrator may find it easier to position and align TXTMs if they display a working grid with a fairly small spacing (10mm) and set the snap function on.

To create a TXTM, on the Admin tab, in the Templates group, click Text, select Create from the drop-down list to display the Create TXTM window.

It is recommended that the administrator gives the TXTM a name that makes its contents obvious to users. Click OK to display the Modify Text window. Refer to Modify Text for further information.

Click Cancel to discard any changes and close the Create TXTM window.

Modify Text

To modify TXTM text, on the Create TXTM window, click OK to display the Modify Text window. The functionality of the Modify Text window is explained. Refer to Modify Label Text for further information.
