Description/Instructions
Parameter Name
Displayed only if Block type is Database, this parameter specifies the name of the component
table column in which the block to be inserted is specified for each size.
Block field
A drop-down list lets you specify either Fixed value or Database. If you select Fixed value,
the value you supply will apply to every row in the size table for this component. If you
select Database, a column will be added to the table allowing values to be entered for
individual sizes.
Scaling type
Displayed only if Scaling type is Fixed value, this parameter specifies the scaling value for
the block.
Scale
Displayed only if Scaling type is Database, this parameter specifies the name of the
component table column in which the scaling value for the block is specified for each size.
Scale field
Specifies whether the command-line option for specifying scaling is displayed for this
component.
Allow scaling
Specifies whether the command-line option for specifying rotation is displayed for this
component.
Allow Rotation
Specifies whether the command-line option for flipping the block on its X axis is displayed
for this component.
Allow X flip
Specifies whether the command-line option for flipping the block on its Y axis is displayed
for this component.
Allow Y flip
Specifies whether the command-line option for specifying an alternate base point is displayed
for this component.
Allow Base point
Parameters for Recipes Using Bookends Jigs
Bookends jigs are used to insert components that consist of a pattern repeated as a linear array but bounded by unique
items at each end. Thus, the recipe must define a start block, a repeat block, and an end block. Refer to the following
table if you are adding a new detail component (or editing one that was created using the New Component option)
and you want to define a recipe that uses a bookends jig to insert the component in the specified view.
NOTE Parameters preceded by an asterisk (*) are specified separately for the start block, the repeat block, and the end block.
Description/Instructions
Parameter Name
Specifies the layer key for the layer to which the component will be assigned in the specified
view. To specify a layer key or change the existing one, click the worksheet icon (
) to
access the Select Layer Key dialog box.
Layer key
Specifies whether the blocks comprising the component are inserted as a single block.
Block entire component
Specifies the drawing file (a DWG, DWT, or DWS file) containing the blocks for the
component table.
Block drawing location
A drop-down list lets you specify either Fixed value or Database. If you select Fixed value,
the value you enter for the corresponding Block parameter will apply to every row in this
component’s size table. If you select Database, a column (with the name specified for the
corresponding Block field parameter) will be added to the component table, allowing
different block definitions to be specified for individual sizes.
*Block type
Displayed only if Block type is Fixed value, this parameter specifies the block definition to
be used for all sizes.
*Block
Displayed only if Block type is Database, this parameter specifies the name of the component
table column in which the block definition is specified for each size.
*Block field
Specifies the layer key for the layer to which the block will be assigned in the specified view.
To specify a layer key or change the existing one, click the worksheet icon (
) to access
the Select Layer Key dialog box.
