X - the distance from Point1 to Point2 on the X axis measured; The Texblock lies in the XY or XZ-plane. Y - the distance from Point1 to Point2 on the Y axis measured; The Texblock lies in the XY or YZ-plane. Z - the distance from Point1 to Point2 on the Z-axis measured; The Texblock lies in the YZ or XZ-plane. The dimension-text will be placed on a plane facing toward the viewer.

Output of 3D coordinates of a point with 3D-Auxiliary line. The X/Y/Z-coordinates of a point will be displayed in the XY-plane. A line from the point to the TextPosition will be drawn. N = LDRP TextPosition [Point] [LineType] ["AdditionalText"] TextPosition - position of the text block Point - Issue of X / Y / Z-coordinate this point; [Add.Text]: AdditionalText - special characters can be included (i.e. "[+ 0.2") Example: position of a point with 3 decimal places to spend: N20 = LDRP P (50 50 50) P (10 10 0.12345) "[3"N Text
3 D-Text with variable size, direction and special characters. (See also 2D-Text.) N# = TextPosition Size [Direction] Text TextPosition: position of the text block [TextSize]: text size; scalable, according to the standards / text. [TextAngle(Deg.)]: Direction of textblock (angle); default is 0 degrees. Text: Text - special characters can be included (i.e. "[+ 0.2") Example: # "Angle 60 (degrees character) <"+0,123" {superscript} "0.5"{superscript}" N20=P(100 0) "angle 60 [g [/+0,123[\-0.5" Example: N10 = P5 "text to point P5" N11 = P (100100) 10 ANG (15) "Text Size 10, toward 15 degrees"N Text,LN LDR
Text with 1 or 2 2D-auxiliary lines, with or without arrow icon. Auxiliary line 2 (optional) from EndPoint-1 to EndPoint-2, the text is on the endpoint of the auxiliary lines. Auxiliary line and circle (currently) always in the XY-Plane.

Text with a circle and 2D-auxiliary line. A circle is created, text is placed inside. From the circle to StartPoint-Line a line is created. Line and circle are on the XY-Plane. N = LDRC TextPosition [StartPoint Line] [LineType] [Text] TextPosition - position of text and circle. [StartPoint Line]: Line from TextPosition to this point. LineType - unsupported Text: Text - special characters can be included (i.e. "[+ 0.2") Example: N22 = LDRC P (150 50 50) P (100 10 0) "P21"N TextTag,LN TAG
2 D-Text with or without textblock, with or without auxiliary line. (See also 3D-Text.) Fixed text size, always in top view. N = TAG TextPosition [StartPointLine] [Color] Text TextPosition: position of the text block [StartPoint Line]: startpoint of the auxiliary line to the textposition [color]: Color of the text block (no indication: text only, no Block) Text: as a special sign of 2D-Text are currently only "[n" (Line separator). Example: N23 = TAG P(150 50 50) P(100 10 0) "P21" N24 = TAG P(250 50 50) P (200 0 0) VAL(7) "N24 [nP25"N Symbol LDRS
A symbol or a vector. N = LDRS SymbolPosition [SymbolType] [Color] [EndpointVector] SymbolPosition [SymbolType] 0=star .. 6=arrowhead [color] Color of symbol [EndpointVector] - only for SymbolTypes 4, 5, 6 Example: # small triangle, red, at pos. 350,50,50 N25 = LDRS P(350 50 50) 1 2 # Arrowhead at enpoint of Line L21 N26=LDRS P(L21 MOD(2)) 6 P(L21 MOD(1))N Image Pos. Image-Filename IMG
Displays Images (pixel image). The images are always normal to the viewer, with a fixed size or automatic scaling. Supported Filetypes: JPG and BMP. N# = IMG ImagePosition [StartPointLine] [Linetyp] Filename [Scale] ImagePosition: point for the lower left position of the image [StartPoint Line]: the startpoint of a connecting line to the lower left image position [Linetyp]: type of connecting line Filename: the file name of a imagefile (.jpg oder .bmp). The middle mouse button in the graphics window activates the file dialog box. The directory is a Symbol Path Name (See Symbolic File Names). [Scale]: if not defined (or value of 0), then the bitmap will be dynamically scaled. If a scale is given, it will be in fixed scale (No dynamic scaling). Example: N32 = IMG P(500 0 0) "Data/sample_bmp1.bmp" VAL(0.5) N20 = IMG P(0 0 0) "Data/Bild1.bmp" # Displays Windows Bitmap at path Data/Bild1.bmp No exporting of bitmaps.
