KOMPAS-3D v24

Property table

A tabular list of properties whose values are available for display in the object name. By default, the values of the Designation and Name properties are available for display in the name.

If you want to change the property set, click the Change list button, button above the table.  A dialog box appears on the screen  where you can add properties (including library properties) to or delete them from the list.

The order of properties in the list determines their position in the object name, i.e. the property at the top of the list occupies the leftmost position in the object name, etc. To move the rows in the table, use the buttons above it and .

•The first column of the table contains options that include the corresponding properties in the object name. The option in the column header allows you to include all listed properties in the object name or exclude all properties from the name. It can be in one of three states:

•enabled  — all options in the list are enabled (the name contains the values of all properties present in the list),

•undefined  — the list contains both enabled and disabled options (property values with enabled options are shown in the name, and with disabled options are shown in the name — are not shown),

•disabled  — all options in the list are disabled (the name does not contain property values from the list).

If the state of an option is not defined, clicking on the option will disable it, the next click will enable it.

•In the second column of the table, you can enter a prefix for each property — an arbitrary sequence of characters to be added to the object name before the value of the corresponding property.

•The third column of the table shows the names of the properties.

If no property values included in the name are set for an object, the name of the document type (e.g. drawing, part, etc.) or the name of the object (e.g. body) is displayed as the name of this object. The same name is shown in the Tree if all options in the Properties list are disabled.

The improved algorithm for calculating the size of the text

The option enables the use of more accurate calculation of symbol sizes in the current document.

When calculating using the improved algorithm, the size of symbols does not depend on the scaling set at Windows settings and the use of ClearType (the effect of these parameters on texts in KOMPAS documents is most noticeable in Windows, starting from version 10, and is expressed in the fact that the actual height of symbols does not correspond to the specified one).

The improved calculation algorithm was added in the express update of KOMPAS-3D 19.0.7. Therefore, enabling the option is available if the current document is created in KOMPAS-3D 19.0.7.

If the document is created in KOMPAS-3D with Express Update 19.0.7 or later, the option in the dialog box is enabled and it is impossible to disable it. The same state of the option appears after the algorithm is applied to the document. That is, if you enable the option and close the dialog using the Apply and close button, you cannot disable the option the next time you open the dialog.

As a result of the improved algorithm for calculating symbol sizes, the dimensions of texts in a document may increase. This may cause inscriptions, particularly technical requirements in a drawing, to overlap neighboring objects. Width/height of tables may change or rows in cells may overlap (this depends on the cell format setting in the table). In a text document, the number of pages may increase,

So it is recommended to check the texts in the document after applying this setting to it. If it turns out that changing the size of texts is unacceptable and the use of the improved algorithm should be canceled, close the document without saving.
