Component Labels

In this dialog box, component labels for all drawing sheets can be defined. In the individual drawing sheets, one of these settings is then selected and thus the component labeling is fully defined.

With the selection list at the top of the dialog box you can choose existing settings. Using the disk icon you can save the current setting under the same name or a new name. Via the management icon you can create new settings, also by adopting existing settings, or modify or delete existing settings. See 'Save settings' in the 'General Help' manual.

Show designation: If this switch is enabled, the designation of the component (e.g., rafter) will be included in the component label.

Show component cross-section: The cross-section of each component can be enabled in the component label.

Show material: The material (identification number, order number) of the components can be enabled in the component label.

Display component length: The length of each component can also be displayed in the component label. Optionally, the upper marking length, the lower marking length (measured on the underside C of the component), the measured length, or no bar length can be displayed.

Display component numbers: The number of each bar can be displayed in the component label. Optionally, the running number, the timber list position, or no number can be displayed.

Height indication horiz. bars: For horizontal bars (e.g., purlins), the height of the top side or the bottom side can be displayed.

Labeling on: The label can be inserted at the start of the bar, at the end of the bar, or at the middle of the bar.

Distance: Based on the position chosen in the previous field, the label can be further offset by the measure set here. The distance is entered in the true length (not measured on paper).

Component labeling: The component label can be placed on or beside the bar.

Generate component label as: The component label can optionally be generated as text or as a label in the sense of the drawing program. If the component label is generated as a program label, it automatically receives a reference line as soon as the label text is moved on the drawing.
