NDW layout elements, parameters

You can make settings for the following parameters when placing NDW files.

Scale 1:

You can change the scale displayed.

Angle of rotation

Rotates elements and places them.
For this the Text direction option must be active.

Font factor

The font factor applies to the character size used in the lettering of files.
You can specify factors between 0.01 and 1000. Entering a factor of 1 sets the same size as in the file.

Text direction

When you activate the Check text direction option, text and labels in documents are placed in the layout so that they can be read from below and from the right (in compliance with DIN 1356).

Layer/print set

You can use the 'Element Visibility from Layers in Layout' dialog box to specify whether all elements of the layout element or only elements on specific layers are visible.

Drawing type

You can select a drawing type (provided the NDW file contains a line style and/or area style). When the drawing type is set to Scale definition, the line styles and area styles change with the scale.
This setting is equivalent to the definition you make in the Element Visibility from Layers in Layout dialog box, which you can open by clicking Layer/print set on the context toolbar (see above).

Note: You can use Save as a Favorite to save the settings and Load Favorite to read the settings back into the context toolbar, where you can modify them. The scale, font factor, setting of the check text direction option, setting for element visibility from layers and the drawing type are saved in the favorite file.
