Use this dialog box to specify the initial parameters for a subassembly created from an existing polyline.
- Name
-
Specifies the name of the subassembly.
-
-
Opens the Name Template dialog box, where you can modify the naming template.
- Description
-
Specifies an optional description of this subassembly.
Code Set Style
- Style List
-
Specifies the current code set style. Select a new style by clicking the drop-down arrow.
- Style Selection
-
Specifies the style options. You can create a new style, copy or edit the current style, or pick a style from the drawing.
- Style Detail
-
Opens the Style Detail dialog box where you can preview the style and creation information.
Subassembly Layer
Displays the name of the layer on which this subassembly object will be created. To change the layer, click the Object Layer icon and select a layer.
Conversion Options
- Mid-Ordinate Distance
-
If the subassembly object contains curves, all curves will be tessellated (converted into a finite number of segments) using this value to determine the length of the tessellated segments.
- Link Creation
-
Specifies symbol scaling:
- None: Generates no links. Only points will be created at the vertices.
- Single: Creates one link from all the segments created from the object selected. This is provided to make creating shapes simpler. Using the Add Shape right-click command, you only need to perform one action.
- Multiple: Creates a new link for each segment created from the object selected. This is useful for assigning link codes to different parts of the subassembly for creating surfaces and other display characteristics.
Erase Existing Elements
To retain existing elements, as well as the new subassembly, clear this check box.
