Title: Once the profile is drawn, the title entered will appear on the top of the drawing.
Paper Size: This check box is used to select the size of the paper. One can choose among the different formats contemplated for distribution on sheets (defined in the HOJAS.DAT file). If one does not wish to split the drawing, the Continuous option (default value) should be selected.
It is possible to modify the name, size and contents of the formats proposed. In order to do so, the blocks in the BLOCKS 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 on a scale of 1:1 and proportionally to the horizontal / vertical relation. The default value of both fields will be 1:200.
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 drawing 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.
Text Height: The value for the height of the texts that will be labelled on the cross-section drawing is entered.
If one selects a sheet format using scale control, the number of sheets and profiles per sheet to be represented on the drawing will be displayed.
