Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD
Dynamic Block - Attributes o Outlet_Type Single character text within the symbol Text always horizontal o Outlet_ID Multiline text associated with the symbol Text always horizontal Background mask with drawing background color, offset 1.05 Text always renders at 3/32” in paper space Block rotation 0° or 180° (vertical orientation) • Center of text aligned to center of top/bottom of triangle Block rotation 90° or 270° (horizontal orientation) • If one or two lines of text o Aligned within the top/bottom boundaries of the triangle • More than two lines of text o Line from bottom of ID text to midpoint on edge of triangle o Default alignment has the bottom line of text aligned to 5% above the bottom corner of the triangle Orthogonal rotation • Text moves away from triangle. Minimum distance 1/64” between edge of block and edge of text • Grip allows for rotation from perpendicular Stretch-able location of cable ID • Grip at insertion point of ID text • When the grip moves away from the default location o Line between symbol and text becomes visible o Line around text becomes visible Automatic overlap protection • ID attributes shift if necessary to avoid overlap with other ID attributes. o 0 up o 180 down o 90 left / up (text looks like multiple lines) o 270 right / down (text looks like multiple lines) • Box around text and line from bottom of ID text to midpoint on edge of triangle - Annotative o Triangle block always renders to ¼” along the long edge o TAG always renders to 3/32” h o Cable ID renders to 3/32” if one line, 1/16” if more than one line this might change o Attributes use a mono-spaced font
