Breakdown of configuration options
Command affected: INSTITLE1
Check this box if you would like to automatically update all APS drawing
callout blocks when you first open a drawing.
Command affected: INSTITLE1
Enter or select the block to insert for drawing title number 1.
Note: The drawing file used for
this block must contain 7 attribute definitions with the following tags: TITLLOC,
TITLSHT, TITLFIL, TITLSCL, TITLTXT, TITLNOT, TITLEID. (The block may contain
more than 7 attribute definitions if you need more but must have these 7) These
tags are required by the drawing referencing system.
If you would also like an additional block to be inserted you may
specify it in the "Additional block:" box. This block will be
inserted exploded so that it may be stretched or have its text edited etc.
It will use the same insertion point as the main block. If you don't want
an additional block inserted leave the box blank.
Command affected: INSTITLE2
Enter or select the block to insert for drawing title number 2.
Note: The drawing file used for
this block must contain 7 attribute definitions with the following tags: TITLLOC,
TITLSHT, TITLFIL, TITLSCL, TITLTXT, TITLNOT, TITLEID. (The block may contain
more than 7 attribute definitions if you need more but must have these 7) These
tags are required by the drawing referencing system.
If you would also like an additional block to be inserted you may
specify it in the "Additional block:" box. This block will be

It will use the same insertion point as the main block. If you don't want
an additional block inserted leave the box blank.
Command affected: INSTITLE3
Enter or select the block to insert for drawing title number 3.
Note: The drawing file used for
this block must contain 7 attribute definitions with the following tags: TITLLOC,
TITLSHT, TITLFIL, TITLSCL, TITLTXT, TITLNOT, TITLEID. (The block may contain
more than 7 attribute definitions if you need more but must have these 7) These
tags are required by the drawing referencing system.
If you would also like an additional block to be inserted you may
specify it in the "Additional block:" box. This block will be

Enter or select the block to insert for drawing title number 4.
Note: The drawing file used for
this block must contain 7 attribute definitions with the following tags: TITLLOC,
TITLSHT, TITLFIL, TITLSCL, TITLTXT, TITLNOT, TITLEID. (The block may contain

If you would also like an additional block to be inserted you may

inserted exploded so that it may be stretched or have its text edited etc.
It will use the same insertion point as the main block. If you don't want
an additional block inserted leave the box blank.
This title command is a little different from the rest as it also
inserts a bar-scale along with the other block(s). Enter the X and Y
offset from the insertion point of the title to where you want the
insertion point of the bar-scale. Remember that the values entered here
should be for a full scaled drawing. These values will be scaled up using
the scale factor of the drawing the title is inserted in.
Command affected: INSCALLOUT1
Enter or select the block to insert for drawing callout number 1.
Note: The drawing file used
for this block must contain 5 attribute definitions with the following
tags: CALLLOC, CALLSHT, SIM, CALLBID, CALLTID. (The block may contain more
than 5 attribute definitions if you need more but must have these 5) These
tags are required by the drawing referencing system.
Command affected: INSCALLOUT2
Enter or select the block to insert for drawing callout number 1.
Note: The drawing file used
for this block must contain 5 attribute definitions with the following
tags: CALLLOC, CALLSHT, SIM, CALLBID, CALLTID. (The block may contain more
than 5 attribute definitions if you need more but must have these 5) These
tags are required by the drawing referencing system.
Commands affected: ELVEXST,
ELVEXSTA, ELVEXSTB, ELVEXSTD, ELVEXSTS, ELVEXSTT,
ELVNEW, ELVNEWA, ELVNEWB, ELVNEWD, ELVNEWS,
ELVNEWT
If you change the size of both the new or existing grade elevation blocks
enter the new width and height here. Both of these blocks need to be the same
size, so if you change the size of one of the blocks please change the other.
Command affected:
CLOUD
The "Arc length factor" determines how long (on average) each of the arcs are in
the cloud. This value is scaled with the scale of the drawing so the cloud on
one drawing will look the same as the cloud on another drawing of a different
scale. This value must be greater than zero.
The "Arc flatness factor" sets how "flat" each of the arcs are. The larger the
number the "flatter" (more like a straight line) the arcs will be, the smaller
the number the more pronounced the arc will be (more like a circle). This number
must be a number between 0.0 and 1.0.
Command affected:
BREAKLIN
The BREAKLIN command has three
possible styles. Select the style that you would like (pick on the style in the
image). The height value scales the
break symbol to the size entered here on the plotted sheet. In other words it is scaled with the drawing scale so that it will appear the
same size regardless of the drawing scale. The value entered here should be for a scale factor of 1
or the size you would like it plotted on the sheet of paper.
Commands affected: ALLCALL,
ALLCALLSYMB, CALLOUT,
CALLOUTSYMB, BARSCALE,
ELVEXST,
ELVEXSTA, ELVEXSTB, ELVEXSTD, ELVEXSTS, ELVEXSTT,

Note: The commands shown in this
image and the images below have been taken from the Architectural Symbols set of
commands. The list of commands shown will match those listed in the
"Commands affected" list above.
Choose the layer control method you would like to use from the choices
listed. You may create all new objects on whichever layer is
current at the time or you may assign a layer to each of the commands. To
assign layers to each of the commands select "Assign layers...to
use" as shown above and then click on a command name from the list in the
box (scroll down for more as needed). The following dialog will appear:
Edit the layer properties for the command selected as needed and press
"OK" to save them.
For those with the APS Layer Control System
component loaded
If you have either the complete APS system or have the Layer Control system
component loaded you may also use
layer types for your layer control.
To use layer
types select "Assign layers using layer types" like shown
above then select a command from the list in the box (scroll down as
needed). The following dialog will appear:
Choose a layer type from your list of layer types like shown here at
left.
There are two ways to use
layer types: "Single Layer Assignment" or with "Layer
Schemes". Set which of these types of layer control methods you would like to
use in the Layer Control
Configuration dialog.
