Generate text automatically |
This option determines how spaces are placed in text composed of characters entered in the attribute columns. •If the option is enabled, spaces between text fragments are automatically inserted according to standards. For example, in the bolt designation “Bolt 1 M12...,” spaces are added before and after the version designation, but no space is added before the diameter value. •If the option is disabled, spaces are not added between text fragments. If necessary, you can include them in existing columns (available if the column type is "String") or create new columns between the columns that should be separated by a space, with the content of these new columns being a space. |
To finish working in the dialog and save your changes, click the Apply button. To exit the dialog without saving your changes, click the Cancel button.
