DATE ELEMENTS

Creation of Levels

In order to create Levels, either a section or
elevation a view must be active.

Architecture ► Datum ► Level

Level Labels can automatically be made on line,
when they are drawn. Subsequently if a Level is
selected a locked padlock and a dashed line is
displayed at the same time. See point 1.
The lock icon indicates that the Levels are
"Aligned" or "locked on line", and that all Levels
will move the same, if one of the Level lines
is lengthened or shortened.
Paragraph 2 specifies that it is possible to
determine whether the Level labels (the main
symbol) should be displayed or not. This feature
is possible at both ends.
If a Level line has only to be extended or
shortened, click on the padlock to unlock it.
When forming Levels, you can choose on the Option Bar; Level should create a Plan View.
