A block style defines the graphical presentation of a block. A block style may not show all the block fields. This means different styles can show different sets of information or even a different look to how the information is shown. An example is a title block's English only style vs. dual language style.
A string that identifies the style. The string must be unique for the block.
The string to show in the Edit/Insert Format Block dialog.
The tabular note template to use for the style. The templates are stored in the format_defs/block_templates directory of the DSL configuration.
The type of template to be used by the style.
The style uses a tabular note template to define the geometry.
The style uses a regular NX part to define the geometry. This type of template does not support tables. Create the annotation geometry on a drawing. An anchor point must also be created and located somewhere within the boundary of the annotation geometry. It is assumed that only one point exists in the template.
This allows you to specify where a block field is located on the tabular note. You enter the row and column as well as indicate if it is in a header row. Use -1 as the row and column if the field does not appear in the style.
Allows you to specify what column the table field is located on the tabular note. Use -1 is the table field does not appear in the style.
Enter the note object number in the template. To determine this index number, open the template file. Go to the Drafting application. Change the Selection Filter to Note and select all(ctrl-A). Select Information->Objects and look at the object number to the note and subtract one. Use -1 if the field does not exist on the style.
