Parameters for Recipes Using Surface Linetype Jigs
Surface linetype jigs are similar to surface jigs in that they are used to insert
components that have a specified depth and a rectangular boundary with
user-specified start points and endpoints. Instead of a hatch-filled boundary,
however, the surface linetype jig fills the boundary with a wide polyline of a
specified linetype. 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 surface linetype jig to insert the
component in the specified view.
DescriptionParameter Name
Specifies the layer key for the layer to which the compon-
ent boundary will be assigned in the specified view. To
Layer key
specify a layer key or change the existing one, click the
worksheet icon ( ) to access the Select Layer Key
dialog box.
Specifies the layer key for the layer to which the compon-
ent infill will be assigned in the specified view. To specify
Linetype/Layer key
a layer key or change the existing one, click the worksheet
icon ( ) to access the Select Layer Key dialog box.
A drop-down list lets you specify either Fixed value or
Database. If you select Fixed value, the value you enter
Linetype type
for the corresponding Linetype parameter will apply to
every row in this component’s size table. If you select
Database, a column (with the name specified for the cor-
responding Linetype field parameter) will be added to the
component table, allowing values to be entered for indi-
vidual sizes.
Displayed only if Linetype type is Fixed value, this para-
meter specifies the linetype alias for all sizes of the com-
ponent.
Linetype
Displayed only if Linetype type is Database, this parameter
specifies the name of the component table column in
which the linetype is specified for each size.
Linetype field
Specifies the string to display for the start point prompt.Start prompt
