Level Symbols - automatic

The Level Symbols - automatic command allows to insert height points with automatic filling of elevation values for indicated points.

Options available in this dialog window have been described in previous chapters (check page 146). Additional options included in this command:

Text height – specifies the marks text height and scale. User can enter a value or indicate it from the drawing

(indicate two points).

Precision of dimensions – defines the decimal number of the ordination values in the symbol that’s going to be inserted.

Unit – determines the unit, which will be changed into the elevation value in the inserted symbol. CADprofi program determines the actual ordination value in accordance with the currently drawing units that were set in the CADprofi - Options command. The Unit option allows to recount the actual height into one of available units.

Format ‘+/–‘ – determines if the positive ordination values should be preceded with a „+”.

Level – determines the reference point of the symbol ordination value. The following ways to determine the coordinate system are possible:

• Auto – calculates the ordination value in regards with the previously set Reference point.

• Auto WCS – calculates the ordination value from the 0.0 point of the World Coordination System.

• Auto UCS – calculates the ordination value from the 0.0 point of the User Coordination System.

Reference point – additional text that informs for example about the above sea level height or the ground foundation height.

Inserting the reference point

1. Run the Level Symbols - automatic command.

2. In the dialog window select the Reference point.

3. (Optional) Specify the symbol text height.

4. (Optional) Specify the following options: Precision, Unit, Separator and Format ‘+/–‘.

5. Choose the coordination system, which will specify the point Level or enter the value manually. Reference point is a benchmark for other height points that's why this point Level is specified as „0”.

6. Click the Insert symbol button to insert a symbol into the drawing.

Notice

Only one reference point can be added to the drawing, making an attempt to insert the next point will display an appropriate message and will allow to replace the old reference point.

Inserting an automatic level symbol

1. Run the Level Symbols - automatic command.

2. In the dialog window select the appropriate level symbol marking.

3. (Optional) Specify the symbol text height.

4. (Optional) Specify the following options: Precision, Unit, Separator and Format ‘+/–‘.

5. Specify the Level, from which the current level will be count. If the level should be counted from the reference point select the Auto option.

6. (Optional) Define or select the Reference point for the selected point.

7. Click the Insert symbol button to insert a symbol into the drawing.
