LAS REVOLUCIONES DE LA DIGNIDAD ÁRABE-ISLÁMICA *
8. EL DECLIVE DEL «DISCURSO» NORMATIVO OCCIDENTAL
These startup parameters provide default values each time the program is started. This file can be modified as desired for the required drawing defaults. The last configuration file is stored in the registry and will be used again and again until it has been changed to another with the Restore button.
The program accesses the configuration file whenever it is started. If this file does not exist, the program will prompt the user to select the initial drawing environment as explained earlier. If the default templates cannot be found, another dialog will appear indicating that the program will need to be re-installed.
The following lines of information will be displayed in the dialog and placed in this file.
Each line below will have a description immediately following it outlining its purpose.
BomScheduleDirection
Default value: 1 Allowed values: 0 or 1
This variable controls whether the Bill of Material schedule will be placed in the upward direction (0) or in the downward direction (1).
BomScheduleSpacing
Default value: 0.25
Allowed values: Positive real
This variable provides the user the means of controlling the spacing on the Bill of Material schedule.
BomTagGridFactor
Default value: 1.0
Allowed values: Positive real
This variable controls the BOM tag grid density on the drawing. When the BomTagOptimize (see page 28) = 2, this variable should be 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 or 3.0.
BomTagOptimize
Default value: 2
Allowed values: 0, 1 or 2
This variable is used to control the tagging algorithm for the Bill of Material.
0 turns the tagging algorithm off.
1 turns the algorithm on and does not stack any tags.
2 turns the algorithm on and stacks flange, bolt and gasket tags.
BomTagRadiusFactor
Default value: 1.25
Allowed values: Positive real
This variable is used to control the radius of the tag bubbles. It will size the bubbles using this factor multiplied by the AutoCAD setvar TEXTSIZE. This factor can also be used in the stress isometric annotation routines.
BomTagSpacingFactor
Default value: 1.25
Allowed values: Positive real
This variable controls how far BOM bubbles are from the model or components within the drawing.
LanguageFile
Default value: ENGLISH.DIC
Allowed values: Valid and properly formatted language file
This variable controls the language of all CADWorx dialogs and prompts. The specified file must be present in the <INSTALL-DIR>\SUPPORT directory for proper operation of CADWorx Steel.
SteelCopeBoltDistance
Default value: 0.5 (Imperial) 15 (Metric) Allowed values: Positive real
This variable controls the distance used when two steel beams are coped using the bolted method.
SteelCopeWeldDistance
Default value: 0.0
Allowed values: Positive real
This variable controls the distance used when two steel beams are coped using the welded method.
SteelLibraryDirectory
Default value: <INSTALL-DIR>\Steel_I (<INSTALL_DIR>\Steel_M for metric) Allowed values: Valid directory name
This variable locates the data file used for drawing Steel. The data files can be located anywhere on the local machine, local network or wide area network.
Note: This directory can be set as READ-ONLY.
SteelNeutralAxis
Default value: 0
Allowed values: 0, 1, 2 or 3.
This variable controls where the center lines for steel channels and angles are drawn.
When this value is set to 0, the center line is drawn at the value specified in the data file. The channel and angle data files have a "X" column that is used to specify the neutral axis.
When this value is set to 1, the center line is drawn at the mid point of the flange.
When this value is set to 2, the center line is drawn on the inside of the flange. A setting of 2 should be used if channels and angles are coped with other members.
When this value is set to 3, the center line is drawn on the outside of the flange. A setting of 3 should be used if channels and angles are mitered with other members.
SteelPartNumberFile
Default value: SamplePartNumbers.dat
Allowed values: Valid and properly formatted part number file
This variable controls the file that contains part numbers that can be automatically entered for every steel beam that is drawn. As a steel member is drawn, it looks in this data file for an entry which is the same name as the data file. This entry must be enclosed in square brackets. If it finds the entry, it then looks for a description which matches the name of the member being drawn. If found, it then retrieves the part number (numeric, alpha, or any combination) and places it to the right side of the entry. It then places this part number into the dialog and stores it in the member drawn into the drawing.
SteelToolTipSetting
Default value: 2435
Allowed values: Positive integer
This variable controls the items the user sees in the tool tip display, when the mouse hovers over a steel component. When enabled, the user is allowed to click the Settings button and select items to view on the tool tip as shown below.
SteelRoundControl
Default value: 0
Allowed values: 0, 1, 2 or 3.
This variable controls how the values are read from the steel data files are interpreted.
0 turns the system off.
1 rounds up to the nearest multiple of the value specified in SteelRoundUnit.
2 rounds down to the nearest multiple of the value specified in SteelRoundUnit.
3 rounds up or down to the nearest multiple of the value specified in SteelRoundUnit.
SteelRoundUnit
Default value: 0.0
Allowed values: Positive real.
This variable is used when the SteelRoundControl variable is turned on (1, 2 or 3). It is used to round the values read in the from the steel data files.
SyncOnStartUp
Default value: 1
Allowed values: 0, 1, or 2
This variable controls the synchronize option on opening a drawing with an external database.
0 turns the synchronize option off when a drawing is loaded into AutoCAD.
1 asks the user whether the program should synchronize the drawing with the external database.
2 provides CADWorx Steel with the ability to synchronize the drawing with the external database without prompting the user.
Note: When calling the SYNC from the toolbar or command line, value 0 and 1 will prompt the user and value 2 will synchronize without any prompts.
SystemMeasure
Default value: 1
Allowed values: 0, 1, or 2
This variable is set according to the type of system that is currently being used by CADWorx Steel.
0 sets the metric system with metric input.
1 sets the imperial system with nominal inch input.
2 sets the metric system with nominal inch input.
TemplateDatabaseFile
Default value: PIPE.MDB
Allowed values: Valid access database file name
This setting locates the database file that is used with the Bill of Material generator.
UseObjectsFromXrefs
Default value: 1
Allowed values: 0 (no) or 1 (yes)
This variable allows objects from Xrefs (eXternal References) to be used during the current selection process. When on, objects from Xrefs will be used for the function being run. When off, objects from Xrefs will not be used.
