Use this tab to specify the appearance of the assembly components (insertion point, baseline, baseline point, offset, and offset point) in the drawing.
- Component
-
Specifies the assembly component for which you want to specify the appearance.
- Use AutoCAD POINT For Marker
-
Specifies that the assembly component is displayed using the current AutoCAD point symbol, which is specified by the AutoCAD PDMODE and PDSIZE system variables.
- Use Vertical LINE For Marker
-
Specifies that a vertical line is used for the component. Used for baseline and offset components. You can specify the length of the line using the Size field.
Use Custom Marker
- Use Custom Marker
-
Displays the assembly using the specified symbol.
- Custom Marker Style
-
Specifies the symbol for displaying the marker. Click one of the five symbols to the left to use as a base symbol. Optionally, click the sixth symbol, the seventh symbol, or both, to superimpose them over the base symbol. The specified symbol combination is displayed in the Preview window.
Use AutoCAD Block Symbol For Marker
- Use AutoCAD BLOCK Symbol For Marker
-
Displays the assembly using a reference to the selected AutoCAD block. The block is scaled using the options specified under Size.
- Blocks
-
Lists block definitions available in the drawing. Do one of the following:
- Click a block name to select the block to be used for the assembly symbol. The block is displayed in the Preview window.
- Right-click in the block list window and click Browse to select a block located in another folder.
The specified block is displayed in the Preview window.
Marker Rotation Angle
- Marker Rotation Angle
-
Specifies the rotation angle for the symbol. Applies to all three symbol types (AutoCAD Point, Custom Marker, and AutoCAD Block). Enter a value or click
to specify an angle.
Size
- Options
-
Specifies symbol scaling:
- Use Drawing Scale: Determines size of the marker by multiplying the specified value by the drawing scale. Enter the scale factor.
- Use Fixed Scale: Activates the Fixed Scale options.
- Use Size in Absolute Units: Specifies that the marker size is an absolute value based on the displayed units. Enter the value. This is the only setting applicable for the baseline and offset line components.
- Use Size Relative to Screen: Specifies that the size of the marker is a percentage of the drawing screen size. Enter the percentage.
- Fixed Scale
-
Specifies independent fixed scale values when Options is set to Use Fixed Scale. Enter values for X, Y, or Z.
- Orientation reference
-
Specifies the marker rotation angle:
- Orient Marker To World Coordinates: Specifies that the maker rotation angle is relative to the world coordinate system.
- Orient Marker To View: Specifies that the maker rotation angle is relative to the current AutoCAD view direction.
