Direction and Text Type of a Framing Piece Label

You can define the direction and text type of framing piece labels in a drawing by setting the following parameters in the pce_schedule_set definition of the piece in question in the BDSXX keyword group. For example, pce_schedule_set= "JOIST_HANGERS":

• Labels always horizontal:

  pce_schedule= LABEL.DIR H

  

• Labels always vertical:

  pce_schedule= LABEL.DIR V

  

• If the LABEL.DIR definition is missing, the direction is determined by the LABEL.OR parameter. The parameter can have the following values:

  pce_schedule= LABEL.OR X

  

  pce_schedule= LABEL.OR Y

  

  pce_schedule= LABEL.OR Z

  

  pce_schedule= LABEL.OR V

  

• Use normal text as the label text type:

  pce_schedule= LABEL.TT 1

  

• Use reference line text (4) as the label text type:

  pce_schedule= LABEL.TT 4

  

• Use reference line text (5) as the label text type:

  pce_schedule= LABEL.TT 5
