MODIFY PEN TABLE-FONT

Hello,

I am using Power Geopak V8i SS2.

I am new to Geopak and learning how to make a pen table with similar performance as an I-Plot file, since we do not have I-Plot.  I notice in the I-Plot file there are logical statements that tests a particular font.  Such as:

! THIS SECTION MAKES TEXT OF FONT 0-84 black AND PLOT ON TOP

IF (TYPE==TEXT) AND (FONT .IN. 0-84)) THEN

COLOR='black'

PRIORITY=100

ENDIF

But in the Modify Pen Table Dialog, I do not see any options for font as a selection type.  Can I get this same logical statement to test for a font some other way or am I misunderstanding the selection criteria?

  • Use "Text" and/or "Text Node" under the "Type" category in the MicroStation pen table.  To verify the correct Type to use, select the "Element Information" command in MicroStation. It will identify the element you should use in the "Criteria" section of the pen table.  You can also further distinguish the text in question by specifying the Level it is on as well as the Color (or a number of other characteristics defined by the Element Information command).  Then on the "Output Actions" tab, you can specify you want the color to be black and the priority of 100.

       
    This is a test
