Paper Size: This check box is used to select the size of the paper. One can choose among the different formats contemplated for sheet distribution (defined in the HOJAS.DAT file). If one does not wish to split the drawing, the Continuous option (default value) should be selected.
The option exists of modifying the formats proposed regarding their names, size and contents. In order to do so, the blocks in the BLOQUES\FORMATOS folder of the program’s root directory should be modified.
Concerning scale fields, it is necessary to consider that the drawing’s scale is determined by text size in CAD, as the drawing is only generated in a scale of 1:1 and proportionally to the horizontal / vertical relation.
Horizontal Scale: This drop-down list displays all the scales defined in the ESCALAS.DAT file in the MDT configuration directory. It is possible to complete the list with other usual values.
Vertical Scale: Same as the previous paragraph. The possibility of defining a vertical scale on the cross-section drawings has been thought up to make it possible to observe height differences in very long profiles having very small height differences without having the need to continuously enlarge the drawing on screen.
If a sheet format is selected by the scale command, the number of sheets needed for the longitudinal profile drawing can be viewed.
