Defines the pipeline attributes that are plotted on the drawing frame. The Attributes page is divided into two sections.

  • View window displays a copy of the selected style's default backing sheet.

  • Attributes window displays the component attributes. Each attribute has a position, and you can define its text size, font, and layer independently. These properties can be customized to meet your specific isometric drawing requirements. See Define drawing frame attributes.

Attributes Window

Attribute

Specifies the name of the attribute being defined.

X

Defines the X, or horizontal, position for the text. Type a value in millimeters or inches, depending on the Backing Sheet Units setting on the Basic Setup page.

Y

Defines the Y, or vertical, position for the text. Type a value in millimeters or inches, depending on the Backing Sheet Units setting on the Basic Setup page.

Text Height

Sets the character height for the text. Type the required size in millimeters or Inches (as a real number), depending on the Backing Sheet Units setting on the Basic Setup page.

Font

Specifies the font used when plotting the attribute in the drawing frame. Select the required font in the list.

Barcode

Sets the barcode standard used by Isogen. The value you specify creates the start and finish characters for the barcode reader. Type the number that corresponds to the required standard: 1 (Barcode 30), 2 (Barcode 25), 3 (Barcode 25 Interleave), or 4 (Barcode 128). Although several barcode standards exist worldwide to suit different industries, Isogen has only standardized on four.

Justification

Sets the justification for the text. Select Left, Right, or Centre.

Layer

Specifies a number that corresponds to the layer. This number is an integer that identifies the required layer, or level, to which the component type is to be assigned. Select the required value in the list.

Colour

Specifies the index number that represents a specific color as defined in the output drawing software. This option is required only for MicroStation or AutoCAD output. AutoCAD uses a fixed 256 color pallet starting at 1 (red) to 256. In MicroStation, in addition to a default color pallet, each design file can have a unique custom color table. For example, color index number 3 may be red in one design file, but it may be green in another. The table below shows a color comparison between a sampling of AutoCAD and MicroStation color index numbers.

For specific information about AutoCAD, MicroStation, and other 3rd party drawing software color tables, refer to the product documentation delivered with your software.

Char Width

Sets the character width for the text. Type the required size in millimeters or inches (as a real number), depending on the Backing Sheet Units setting on the Basic Setup page.

Weight

Controls the character thickness. Type a value between 1 and 9. This option is only used for MicroStation.

Rotation

Defines the angle of rotation in clockwise degrees.

Truncation Length

Defines the number of output characters.

Use Add / Remove Attributes on the vertical toolbar to control which drawing frame attributes are plotted on the isometric drawing. See Define drawing frame attributes.
