Distance, Position and Bore Data Output
General
The format of distance, position and bore data generated by codewords is controlled by the UCOD attribute of the Layer element.
All intelligent text codewords generate the same format for ‘FINCH’ and ‘FINCH US’ units (as set in the UCOD attribute of the Layer):
UCOD FINCH DIST
set distance units to ‘AVEVA E3D™ style’ feet and inches, e.g. 5’5.13/16
UCOD FINCH US DIST
set distance units to ‘USA style’ feet and inches, e.g. 5’-5 13/16”
UCOD INCH BORE
set bores in inches
UCOD CM DIST
set distances in centimetres
UCOD CM BORE
set bores in centimetres
FINCH (): 25’3.1/2
FINCH US: 25’-3 1/2”
The INCH option may be qualified to allow different formats for distance, position, and bore values generated by intelligent text codewords. These are:
INCH USA
output of the form: 1/2” or 1 1/2” or 24
INCH
output of the form: 0.1/2 or 1.1/2 or 24
INCH DECIMAL
output of the form: 0.5 or 1.5 or 24.0
If the qualifier is omitted then DECIMAL is assumed.
A nominal/actual qualifier is available for bores. For example
UCOD FINCH BORES ACT
UCOD FI US BO NOM
The setting is NOMINAL by default. The UCOD setting controls the bore sizes output to a drawing by DRAW’s intelligent text system. The two qualifiers have exactly the same effect as the general AVEVA E3D™ PRECI BORE NOM (or PRECI BORE ACT) commands.
UCOD settings can be queried by using the pseudo-attributes:
Q UCODD
and
Q UCODB
