Content Module (Properties tab) - Intergraph Smart 3D - Reference Data

Gathers the information to display within a label or dimension. Additionally, a content module specifies dimension styles.

Content modules are highly customizable. For labels, the system uses report label files in addition to code in the content module in order to display the label. For dimensions, code interacts with SmartSketch in order to place the dimension value, as well apply any changes to the appearance of the dimension. While content modules ready annotations for placement on the drawing view, the modules do not position the annotations.

The list of supported content modules follows. Names in parentheses are as identified in the .xml files.

To use a label module, you must edit the associated symbol file in SmartSketch Drawing Editor. Additionally, you must edit the associated label template .xml file to reference the symbol attribute ID and the .rtp file.

Define a new ID attribute in SmartSketch Drawing Editor to add another text box to a label symbol file. Click Launch SmartSketch next to the Label Symbol File text box to open SmartSketch Drawing Editor.
