notes attributes
Allows you to set specification of attributes on an individual note or a group of notes.
You can set the following attributes on a note.
■SIZE. You may set a size of the note text in modeling units.
■SCALE. You may scale the size of the note text by a non-unit scale factor.
■VISIBILITY. You may set a note's visibility ON, OFF or TOGGLE the current setting. When you set a note's visibility OFF, the note will not be drawn. When you set a note's visibility ON, you allow that note to be drawn.
■COLOR. You may set the color of a note with this parameter.
Format:
notes attributes |
|---|
note_name = | existing note |
size = | length |
unitless_size = | real |
point_size = | integer |
scale = | real |
color = | existing color |
visibility = | on/off |
Example:
notes attributes & |
|---|
note_name = | note_2 & |
size = | 2.0 & |
color = | red & |
visibility = | on |
Description:
Parameter | Value Type | Description |
|---|
note_name | Existing Note | Specifies the note to be modified. You use this parameter to identify the existing note to be affected with this command. |
size | Length | Specifies the size, in modeling units, that the note height will appear in. The width of each character in the note is approximately 60%of the height. |
unitless_size | Real | Specifies a real number |
point_size | Integer | Specifies an integer |
scale | Real | Specifies the amount to scale the note size. Adams will compute the new note size by multiplying the current note size by this scale. |
color | Existing Color | Specifies the COLOR of a graphic object. |
visibility | On, Off | Specifies the visibility of notes. |
Extended Definition:
1. You may identify a note by typing its name or by picking it from the screen.
If the note is not visible on the screen, you must type the name. You may also find it convenient to type the name even if the note is displayed.
If a note is available by default, you may identify it by entering its name only. If it is not, you must enter its full name. To identify a note under a model, for instance, you may need to enter the model name as well. For example, you may specify note "n1" from the model named test by entering ".test.n1". If you type a "?", Adams View will list the notes available by default.
You must separate multiple note names by commas.
If the note is visible in one of your views, you may identify it by picking on any of the graphics associated with it.
You need not separate multiple note picks by commas.
2. A graphic object is an object that may be drawn on the screen by Adams View, these include curves, parts, markers, arcs, outlines, boxes, circles, cylinders, frustums, spring damper graphics, force graphics, and plot curves and symbols. When the COLOR of a part is specified, all graphic objects fixed to that part are drawn with the COLOR of the part. Adams View supports the following COLOR: black, white, red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, and yellow.
3. If you set the visibility of a note OFF, Adams View will erase it from the display. The note will remain in the data base, and you may redisplay it by turning the visibility ON.
Cautions:
1. If you choose the COLOR of an entity to be drawn in the view background color (typically, white or black) it may not show up.
