Contents of header and footer

You can define the text you want to display in the header and footer. You can enter any text or insert Allplan attributes (project name, drawing name, office name, date and so on) in the data entry box. You can also add a bitmap (for example, the company logo).

Text entry box

You can enter any text, which can consist of one or more lines. The program will automatically truncate the text if it exceeds the width or height of the header or footer.

Font

You can select a font and define the formatting (e.g. font and size) of the header and footer. You can use all TrueType fonts installed. The selected formatting applies to the entire header and footer.

Alignment of text

You can specify how text is aligned horizontally. You cannot make any settings for the vertical direction. It is always at the top. This does not apply to bitmaps. You can align them as you need.

Bitmap

Click to insert a bitmap of any format (for example, the company logo) into the header or footer. You can see the name of the bitmap. Click to delete a bitmap you have already inserted.
The program automatically resizes the bitmap so that it fits in the header or footer.

Alignment of bitmap

You can specify how the bitmap is aligned. The alignment of text does not depend on this setting.

Attributes

Click the Set button and double-click an Allplan attribute in the dialog box to add this attribute to the text entry box of the header or footer. The program inserts the attribute at the current position of the cursor. To delete an attribute you have already inserted, select it in the text entry box and press DEL.
Note: You can specify the number of decimal places for the Scale attribute. You can enter up to nine decimal places. For three decimal places, enter the following:

&[scale,3]

If you enter nothing, the program displays two decimal places.
