    Customized Elevation Flag Symbols [TN]

      

    Document Information

    Original Author: Elias Morkos, Bentley Technical Support Group

    Overview 

    This is a solution to how to create Customized Elevation Flag Symbols.

    Solution

    1. In AutoCAD, create any desired Symbol for the elevation flag with Lines, Arcs, Circles and Text only.
    2. Add to it the attributes with the tags "VP" for elevation value and "N1" & "N2" for Notes 1& 2.
      The attribute must not be mirrored and should be in the Positive area in both axis,
      so that the lowest point of the graphics is at 0",0" in WCS Coordinate.
    3. Save the symbol with the attributes as an AutoCAD Block in the "ElevationflagStyles" folder (under ...\Localised\ ... \Styles).
    4. Once the flag symbol is created, in ProSteel, open the ProSteel Elevationflags dialog box by either entering the command Ps_Kote or by selecting the Elevation Symbols button from the ProSteel utilities tool bar.
    5. From the ProSteel Elevationflags dialog box go to the layout tab > click on the fodder icon in front of the Block Path to map to the location folder of the symbol (...Localised\ ... \Styles\ElevationflagStyles).
    6. Enable the option Block Geometry and select the newly created block from the Block Geometry drop down.
