Create Subassembly From Polyline Dialog Box

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 Entities

To retain existing entities, as well as the new subassembly, clear this check box.
