The current document is a text document

General settings (name in the Tree, font and some others) of the current text document are configured in the Current Document section of setting dialog box.

To access the section, call the command Settings — Parameters... and select Current Documentin the dialog boxthat appears.

Controls in the general settings section of the current text document settings section

Element

Setting description

Name format in the Document tree

A group of controls that allows you to set the list of properties and the order in which they are arranged in the document name displayed in the Tree.

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 set of properties, click the button. Change list , located above the table. A dialog box appears on the screen where you can add properties (including library properties) to or remove properties from the list.

The order of the 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 rows in the table, use the and buttons above the

•table. 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 undefined, clicking an 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 that will be added to the object name before the value of the corresponding property.

•The third column of the table displays 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.

Default font

A list for selecting the default font to be used for text and tables in the document.

When the setting is changed, the document objects are automatically rebuilt. If a custom font was selected for an object when creating or editing it, changing the default font in the setup dialog box has no effect on it.

Counting document sheets

The drop-down list allows you to select the method of counting the sheets of the document. The following options are available:

Automatic calculation — counting the actual number of sheets of the current document and entering the obtained value in the Number of sheets column of the main caption. is performed automatically.

Do not count — the column Number of sheets in the main caption remains empty and can be filled in manually.

List parameters

Clicking the Establish... link brings up the dialog box for setting the list parameters. link calls the dialog box for setting the list parameters. In the dialog box you can establish the parameters of text paragraph numbering...

Improved algorithm for calculation of text size

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

When calculating with the help of the improved algorithm, the symbol size does not depend on the scaling set when configuring Windows 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, the option is available if the current document is created in KOMPAS-3D 19.0.7. The same state is available after applying the algorithm to the document.

The same state of the option is available 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 character 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.

Having completed the settings, click the Apply and close button. To exit the dialog box without changing the settings, click Cancel.
