Main menu: Construction - Library objects - Marks and groups - 
Add marker.
Ribbon: Construction - Library objects - Add marker.
Toolbar: "Library objects"- Add marker.
Command line: SPCREATEUMARKER.
The "Marker" tool is designed specifically to create a connection between an arbitrary graphic object (primitive) nanoCAD and a spreadsheet-specification. A universal marker is a translator of data from drawing objects into the nanoCAD Construction 23table by means of special means - marker attributes.
Marker attributes can be visible or hidden. The values of the visible attributes are displayed in the drawing as text strings.
The marker, as an object nanoCAD Construction 23, can be saved in the object library and used repeatedly. The marker can also be included in the groups of objects nanoCAD Construction 23, providing the ability to specify the entire functional groups.
Let's consider creating a marker in the form of a positional leader.
1. Set the required current scale.
2. Insert two text lines into the drawing and draw a horizontal line between them.
These objects will form a leader shelf template with two text labels. To use text strings as marker attributes, the first character must be "$".
3. Call the command "Add marker", use a box or crossing box to select the objects that made up the marker.
4. Snap the base point of the marker.
5. The "Creation of a marker" dialog box appears. The properties table will list the attributes entered in the callout text boxes:
Column "Name" contains the working name of the attribute.
Column "Description" describes the attribute.
In column "Value" the values of the attribute are entered. Values can be either numeric or text. Auxiliary commands are available in the context menu of the "Value" column.
Column "Attribute property" is used to indicate the type of the input attribute. Various attribute labels are provided to indicate their type. The default is "Set to simple field".
Attribute types:
· Add property from object - allows you to set an attribute value by associating it with the attribute value of another object in the drawing.
|
Important! |
An object is understood as an object from the base of standard products. |
After choosing the type, it is suggested to select the object and the object attribute.
After selecting an attribute, its value falls into the "Value" column, and in the "Attribute property" column the name of the selected attribute.
After assigning an attribute, you can change the type of relationship with an object attribute:
One-way communication - changing the value in an attribute of an object affects the value of the marker.
Two way communication - changing the value in the marker affects the attribute of the object, and vice versa.
Basic communication - an attribute of an object can only be changed from a marker. If the attribute is a table value in a basic relationship, the closest value from the table is displayed. The entered value will be displayed in brackets.
· Set To Unique string - allows you to set a counter attribute that will increase its value by 1 for each subsequent inserted marker. In the "Value" column for the visible counter attribute, you can specify a character string - a prefix. In the drawing, the counter value will be appended to the prefix.
· Set to calculated field - allows you to set the value of an attribute using a mathematical expression, using references to other marker attributes, operators, and mathematical functions. The name of the desired attribute is used as a reference to another marker attribute.
|
Note: |
Computed attributes are defined and calculated from top to bottom. |
|
Important! |
Calculations are performed in curly braces. |
Function:
Result:
· Automatically increment - allows you to set a counter attribute that will increase its value by 1 compared to the same attribute of the previous inserted marker. Such a counter attribute allows repetition of the same values for several markers, which distinguishes it from an attribute set to a unique value.
· Set to simple field - sets the default attribute type to plain text.
|
Note: |
Attributes included in the block can be included in the marker attribute table nanoCAD! |
6. Edit the marker using the marker controls at the bottom of the dialog box.

) button changes and the marker is displayed in gray on the screen (in accordance with the color of the non-printed layer).
· 
"Show form editor"- calls the custom form editor to create a dialog for working with marker attributes.
The following commands are available in the drop-down menu:
"Edit Form". Open Form Editor.
"Add Form. Adds additional forms, while the marker can change the appearance of the form, by condition or by the user's choice. By default, the marker has one form.
The form editor uses standard Windows form generation technology. The toolkit consists of three blocks - the graphic editor area, the toolbar with form objects and the properties window of the inserted elements. For inserted fields, the "Field Name" ("Variable") can be selected from the list of existing marker description fields. In this case, the default field value is equal to the field value in the marker description.
When adding a second form, you are prompted to enter a name for the form. The variable Tag - mcFormName is added to the properties table. This variable is responsible for the name of the form, it can be set in a calculated field and, for example, made equal to execution. Empty or "Main" is considered the main form.
· 
"Geometry". Used to change the appearance of the generic marker and define the insertion point.
The following commands are available in the drop-down menu:
Get new geometry. The button is used to change the appearance of the universal marker and define the insertion point.
Export marker source graphics. Exports marker geometry to a file.
Add Implemetnation. Adds additional performances, while the marker can change its appearance, by condition or by the user's choice.
When creating a new implementation, you are prompted to enter its name. When adding implementation, the Tag - mcImplementation variable is added to the properties table. This variable is responsible for the name of the current marker implementation. It can be set to a calculated field or linked to a list on a form. Empty or "Main" is considered the main implementation.
· 
"Set parameters table". Opens the marker parameter table editor. When inserting a marker and having a table of values, it is possible to assign a group of values to the marker attributes.
In the list, select the parameters whose values will be selected from the table. In the right part of the window, enter the required number of lines with values. Close the dialog with the "OK" button.
· 
Save changes to odatabase. The button is intended for writing a marker to library nanoCAD Construction 23.
· 
Apply changes to all markers of this types. Applies changes to all markers of this type in the drawing. Serves for changing the marker template for all markers made according to this template and inserted into the drawing.
7. If necessary, add any number of hidden attributes, filling in the rows of the table in sequence. The attribute is added in the bottom line of the table, marked with an "*" symbol.
8. For future use of the marker, save it to the database as a named object.
In the "Create element" dialog box, specify the path to save, the name of the object and the note (for more information on working with the object base, see the nanoCAD Construction 23Object Manager). After you save the marker, a message appears prompting you to update the existing copies of the marker in the drawing.
9. nanoCAD Construction 23 makes it possible to immediately apply the created marker. The command line prompts you to install the generated token. Pick an insertion point in the drawing. Identical markers can be simply copied in the future. In other cases, the marker is inserted directly from the base.
Editing of a marker is carried out in a dialog box, the title of which corresponds to the name of the marker. For example, when you call for editing the "Position_Marker" marker, the creation of which was described in the previous paragraph, the dialog box will look like this:

nanoCAD Construction 23 allows you to hide individual graphics elements. The overlapping nature of the base object or user block is determined by a special parameter - the overlap level ZOrder. ZOrder - this is a numeric parameter whose value determines the overlap priority. An object with a large ZOrder value overrides an object with a lower value.
Primitives nanoCAD have the lowest overlapping level and therefore are always overlapped by objects from the database. That at an insertion of object nanoCAD Construction 23 objects nanoCAD did not overlap, it is necessary to disable the switch in the object insert dialog "Cover primitives":
The area in the drawing that the base object covers nanoCAD Construction 23, is called "Contour of suppression". An overlap exists within this contour.

Procedure for creating a set of user-defined variables and their use in the table below:
1. In full table editor from the menu Edit invoke the command Form Editor.
2. Create a form with controls and bind each control to a field (variable). More information about the forms, see Form Editor .
3. Close the form editor and save the form.
4. To set the variable, call the command form.
5. Open your form. Enter the desired values. Click OK.
6. Linking table cells with custom variables by using formulas.
Cell value will be associated with the variable.
Variables can also be used in complex formulations.
Reports are necessary in order to organize the data of objects in the drawing.
Recommended report structure:
· Header of first page;
· Header of following page;
· Header of last page;
· Report title;
· Report template;
· Report;
· Report summary;
· Footer of first page;
· Footer of following page;
· Footer of last page;
To create a report in the table editor, call the command from "Main menu - Section - Insert Report section". The command will create a subsection "Report template".
Additional subsections are added using the "Report template" menu: "Report title", "Report Summary".
Header and footer sections are added from "Main menu - Section".
The report template defines the content and appearance of the report; it can consist of one or several lines. A separate copy of the report lines is created for each object. Formulas in the report are calculated using the properties of the selection objects.
The following commands are available in the "Report template" menu (click on the subsection name):
· "Object filter..." - opens the "Quick Selection" dialog for forming a selection of drawing objects. The command is duplicated by the "Select source objects" button on the right in the "Report template" section.
· "Merging and Grouping..." - opens the "Row grouping and merging" dialog in which the parameters of grouping and merging table cells are configured. The command is duplicated by the 
"Group and merge" button on the right in the "Report template" section.
· "Freeze report" - the switch controls the report refresh mode. If the checkbox is selected, the update is performed manually, and the "Update report" command becomes available.
· "Update report" - refreshes the values of report objects, the command is available in manual refresh mode.
· "Report header" - adds a "Report Title" subsection to the beginning of the report, displayed at the beginning of each part of the table.
· "Append Data section" - adds a data section below the report. If the section already exists, an additional line is appended.
· "Append Report section" - adds a new report below the current one.
· "Remove Report" - deletes the report with all associated subsections.
· "Rebuild" - completely rebuilds the report based on the report template. Data entered manually in the "Report" section will be overwritten.
· "Convert to Data section" - the command converts sections of the report to data. Blank lines are not converted. Calling the command opens the "Conversion options" dialog.
· "Report footer" - Adds the "Report Summary" subsection to the end of the report, displayed after each part of the table.
All related subsections of the report are visually combined with brackets.
|
Important! |
The report template has absolute priority over custom changes. After the refresh, the report colored by the user will become the same as the specified report template. Automatic report lines corresponding to the collected objects will be automatically formatted strictly according to the report template. |
The "Report" displays the values of the template variables.
The report contains cells (with a lilac background) containing object data, marked with a special color. Selecting cells highlights the corresponding objects in the drawing.
When editing such cells, the changes will be applied to the very object to which they refer. For instance:
1. Take a Bolt GOST 7795-70 with a length of 50 mm and place a leader on it.
2. Create table, report template and tie to bolt (parametric object).
3. Add parameters: Object.Name and Object.L.
4. Enter the new length, for example 120. Close the table editor.
5. The length of the bolt in the drawing has changed.
The following commands are available in the "Report Title" menu (click on the subsection name):
· "Remove section" - deletes the "Report Title" section.
The following commands are available in the "Report Summary" menu (click on the subsection name):
· "Remove section" - deletes the "Report Summary" section.
In the context menu of the "Report Summary" cells, there are the following additional commands: "Sum", "Average", "Minimum", "Maximum", "Count".
The commands insert into the selected cell corresponding to the name of the expression. The action is applied to a fragment of a column within one section.
1. Call up the "Quick Selection" dialog box. Use the "Filter Objects..." command of the "Report Template" menu or the "Select Source Objects" button on the right in the "Report Template" section.
2. Use the "Quick Selection" dialog to filter the objects and click the "OK" button. The selected objects will be associated with the report.
3. Select a cell in the "Report Template" section. In the context menu of the cell, the parameters of the related objects will be available for insertion.
5. Select an option from the context menu. The "Report" subsection will be automatically created. The number of lines in the "Report" subsection corresponds to the product of the number of related objects and the number of template lines.
The report template can consist of several lines. To add rows in the context menu of the "Report Template" row, use the "Add Row" or "Insert Row" commands.
Rows in a report template can be combined. Changes will be displayed in the "Report" section. Let's consider a join using the example table below:
· Select cell A1:A2 and select the "Group" command from the context menu. The selected cells will be grouped.
· In the "Report template" menu (click on the subsection name), select the "Rebuild" command. The table will look like this:
6. Fill in all the required cells of the "Report Template".
7. The sample is formed. Close the table editor. Changing the parameters of objects in the drawing will change the values in the report.

1. In the dialog box groupings and click Add Rule select Group.
2. Select the name of the column whose cells you want to group. Choice is either by double-clicking on the column name, or by dragging it into the Select .
3. If you want to sort, click on the link and sorting, and select the type of sort.
4. Click OK to view the results in the table editor. Table rows that contain the same values ??in column C, will be grouped.
The Formula Editor (Expression Builder) allows you to set parameters, arithmetic expressions, and object property references for a selected table cell.
The formula editor is invoked:
· By clicking on the "fx" button in the formula bar;
· By pressing Shift + F2;
· Right-click upward;
· From the context menu command "Expression ..".
The dialog box consists of the "Expression Input Field", "Formula Templates", "List of Registered Functions", "Quick View Fields" and the "Attach object" button.
The "Attach Object" button allows you to attach to objects.
At the top of the dialog there is an expression input field, with which you can manually enter any arithmetic expressions, as well as use reserved variables and object properties.
When entering manually, a list of functions and variables containing the word being entered appears in the list of reserved functions; syntax is also checked. If the formula is incorrect, an error warning or hint will appear in the Quick View.
In the quick view field, by clicking the mouse on an expression, the text in the input field related to this expression is selected.
When you click on the 
button in the "Expression input field", the entered expression is saved on the formula templates panel for quick recall. Pressing the button again removes the expression from the formula template.
The "Reserved Functions List" contains recently used expressions that are highlighted in yellow. When you click on the button, expressions are saved in the Formula Templates panel for quick recall. Expressions that are in the Formula Template Bar in the Reserved Functions list will be marked with an asterisk. Pressing the button again removes the expression from the formula template.
When you hover the cursor over the button of the saved template, a tooltip will appear with the contents of this template.
In order to insert an expression from the "Formula template", place the cursor in the required position, press the button with the template.
To delete an expression template, click the triangle button and uncheck the required template in the list that appears.
In the formula, you can use any cell values of the properties of another object. If using automatic recalculation of the table, the formula object is automatically recalculated. Each cell can attach one or more objects. Objects are named Object1, Object2, and Object3, … sequentially numbered in the table. If the object is not used in a formula, it will detach from the table at the next calculation, and the object references are renumbered.
Binding properties for drawing objects to a single cell then use the expression or the keys Shift+F2. Available in the context menu of the selected cell.
After selecting the command window opens the Expression Builder.
Click Attach it.
Select the object whose data you want to send to the table (eg, Bolt M52). Now the list of expressions appears in the properties of the selected object. Double-clicking on the property (select Object.Name), adds it to the text in a cell. Click OK.
After connection of the facility to the cell the cell color changes (it says that the formula in the cell) and it will display the calculated result, in this case the name of the object:

Acos, Asin, Atg - inverse trigonometric functions, the result is given in degrees.
Abs - absolute value of (module).
Int - rounding to whole number.
Summ - returns the sum of the values of the variables in a grouped cells.
|
Note: |
When you type a function should pay attention to the opening and closing brackets. |
For example:
Summ(Row) - returns the sum of the numbers of grouped rows..
Summ(Standartnaya_detal.L) - returns the sum of the values ??of the L parameter object "standard part" in the grouped rows.
data conversion:
Str - Data conversion to a string type.
Num - conversion of data into a numeric type.
Frm - convert a numeric value to a string formatted according to the settings of a table column.
For example:
Frm(0.001230) returns a string 0,0012, if the column containing the cell is set to zero suppression and accuracy of 0,0000
selection and comparison:
FmtText - Addition formatted strings.
FmtSub - the creation of a subscript.
FmtSuper - create superscript.
FmtDigit - transfer number in hard copy.
FmtRaw - text without formatting.
DmtDiv - creation of fractions.
If/Iff - The logical choice. Recording Format:
if (Logich_Uslovie; Esli_Istina; Esli_Lozh)
where:
Logich_Uslovie - logical condition using logical comparisons (see above);
Esli_istina - the return value when the logical condition;
Esli_Lozh - return value at default logical condition.
For example:
if(object == Marker_universalny; Marker_universalny.position; "Undefined") . If an object type, which is connected with the cell column has Marker_universalny value, the function returns the position value of the referenced object. Another type of object it returns a string Undefined .
Exist - Checks whether there is a constant: =IF(EXIST(Object.Name);Object.Name;0)
Min/Max - returns the minimum / maximum value listed in parentheses
For example:
Min(maskimalnoe_znachenie; MinValue ) - nourishes MinValue;
Max(maskimalnoe_znachenie; MinValue) - returns maskimalnoe_znachenie.
Count - returns the number of objects (for grouped rows in the table).
For example:
Count() - returns the number of objects associated with cells grouped rows.
Avg - Calculates the arithmetic mean of the arguments. Takes an arbitrary number of arguments understand ranges. Empty arguments are ignored.
Off - returns the value of the cell, given the relative index. The index is written in the format:
Off(string; column)
For example:
Off(-1;2) - returns the value of cell in the table on one line above (-1) and two columns to the right (2) of the current
Cell - the cell returns the value specified absolute index.
Merge (Cells,Expression) - brings together a range of Cells, if Expression is not equal to 0. Returns the value of Expression.
For example:
=merge(A5:C5; "Title") – integrates cell A5 to C5, in the summary displays the text "Title".
SetHeight() – reference line height. In brackets the height value.
Val() - computes the value of the argument.
For example:
=val("A"+"1") - calculates the "A1", and then uses it as another expression (obtained by the value in cell A1). If the argument - not a string, then he comes back, ie =val(10+2) - the same thing =10+2.
=val("summ(A"+Str(off(0;-1))+":D"+Str(off(0;-1))+")") - the amount of cells from rows A to D, the number which is introduced into the cell to the left of the current one. In most cases you can do without val. The classic example, when without it - no way: in a custom form, enter the cell address, then to take the value out of it. Create a variable Addr, associate it with an input field on a form and in the table do so: = val (Addr) function allows recursion: = val (val ("A" + "1")) - to take the value of the cell whose address is recorded in cell A1. Nesting depth is limited to 64.
Geometry(Object) - works as Implement object. Height embedded object shrinks to the line height. Object is taken from the report, or attached to the cell.
SUMM(Section(-1)) - Sum of cells in the current column of the section next to the current.
COUNT(Section(A3)) - The number of rows in the section containing the cell A3.
Reserved variables:
Pi - pi.
Row - for each cell in the column it returns the number of rows (rows are numbered starting with 1, excluding the header lines).
Col - for all cells in a column returns the column number of the table (column "A" is number 1).
Object - returns the type of the object, which is associated with the cell line.
Object1, Object2, … - objects attached to the cell.
Title - the name of the table.
RowCount - total number of rows.
ColCount - the total number of columns.
The "Split the table by pages" tool is similar to the "Division by page" editor tool, but the result is not a split single table, but several separate tables.
1. Open the table for editing.
2. In the places where the break will be, set the break with the command "Start new page".
3. Close the editor.
4. Select a table.
5. From the context menu, select the "Split table by pages" command.
6. The table will be split into separate tables. The separation will occur at the places of the established breaks.
|
Note: |
If the command is applied to a report, the following destructive actions are performed: 1. The report is converted into static tables. 2. All connections with objects are broken. 3. All formulas are removed, and the cells begin to display the previously formed text. 4. Rows with report titles are hidden so that the display of the table in the drawing is not changed. |

Drawing title/borders recognition
Main menu: Construction - Tables and title blocks - 
Drawing title/borders recognition.
Toolbar: Drawing title/borders recognition ( "Recognition").
Command line: SPRECF.
Master recognition format enables automatic search and replace formats created from individual primitives nanoCAD, transforming them into an object of the "Format" nanoCAD Construction 23. Initial primitives are in the drawing.
Recognition takes place in two phases: the first searches for the formats in their dimensions, the second selected title block. Selection is made by comparing the serial patterns of stamps from the library with the existing geometric objects in the drawing. The remaining seals are installed by default. After the successful recognition format graphs stamps are automatically filled with values from the drawing, and the format is placed on the current layer.
Creating custom formats and stamps
Before you create a custom size or stamp is necessary to draw a pattern nanoCAD means in accordance with the required desired view object being created. When drawing templates should adhere to the following rules:
· The template can contain lines, arcs, and circles, text (single-line and multi-line), the objects of the library of standard parts nanoCAD Construction 23, blocks nanoCAD;
· the thickness of the lines that are assigned to the template thickness is not equal to zero, and not "layer" to be adopted in accordance with the thickness of the closest standard value;
· the color lines and text included in the template will be saved according to the selected values;
· multiline text (mtext) is inscribed in the boundaries of the rectangular area of text is selected when you create it.
You can use overhead lines and graphic objects, which are not drawn when inserting format or stamp in the drawing.
To install a drawing object as a service, use the button 
"Set parameter" toolbar MechWizard, select the object, and in the dialog "Object properties" check the box "Is a working object":
· Use the links in the templates
Use the links in the templates
Custom format may contain links to templates stamps available in the library. To add a stamp in the format used by the relevant rules.
Stamp Position and orientation when you insert a drawing format will be determined by the insertion point and orientation of text links:
the figure shows the format template added referring to stamp basic inscription. When you insert a drawing format drawn stamp recorded in the library under the specified name.
the format can be added to any number of references to the stamps from the library.
In the pattern of the stamp may be used special signage text fields.
Text added to the template and starting with the single character "$", is recognized as a reference pointer on the field (the Count) input. In the input field of the dialog box, you can edit the stamp to record the text (for example, the name of the developer or check). Name field can contain characters of the Latin alphabet and the national or spaces. Dimensions of the input fields are defined primitives surrounding the insertion point, the reference index. If you found another symbol "$", the text after it considered the description field:
$Field_name [$field definitions].
the contents of the text box will be displayed in the list of object properties.
To limit the size of the input field or eliminate overlapping fields in the dialog, you can use the service line.
To create a stamp based on an existing base in the sample, the sample to be inserted into the drawing by setting in the dialog box "Stamp" mode "Display field names" 
. After insertion into the drawing die can be used as the layout of the new stamp.
Standard fields stamps have a description in Russian (GOST), English (ISO) or German (DIN) language, the values of the fields available in the list of object properties.

In the pattern of the stamp can be used table nanoCAD Construction 23. Included in the stamp table when you insert a drawing can be edited as regular tables nanoCAD Construction 23 (except that the die table can not be modified in the editing mode screen).
Converting from previous versions - In file defined fields for name mapping formats of old and new versions. If an entity applies the custom stamps of previous versions, the names of the fields, you can add them into the appropriate section of this file.
Integration with other objects nanoCAD Construction 23
Tables - Format allows you to use tables as stamps. This preserves virtually all the functionality built-in table.
Universal marker - The values of any fields format can be used in a universal marker.
Dimensions - When you create within the format size, the size takes out set in the title block of the format.
Legend roughness - The format may be associated with the designation of a roughness surfaces unspecified. Icon roughness is automatically transferred to the upper right corner of the format.
Property document - The value of the standard field format is synchronized with the attributes of the file in which it was created.
Technical conditions - Format calculates the coordinates of the columns to accommodate the technical requirements.
Attribute documents TechnologiCS - Exchange values between the fields and the format of the document attributes. You can set the matching fields automatically (by the same name), and then specify manually. Establishing appropriate stored for later use.
Zone format - The format can be calculated, is there any point in it. If so, you can receive the designation area containing the point.
Main menu: Construction - Tables and title block - New border wizard.
Toolbar: New border wizard ( " Tables and title block").
Command line: SPFORMATWIZ.
To change the existing format, select it from the drop-down list of templates. The field, located in the center of the panel will be a general view of the selected format.
To add a new format, select the drop down list "Template name" paragraph (new).
Click the left mouse button on the center field, select the drawing created by pre-layout format template, and confirm the selection click OK.
In the dialog box "Format creation" will be recognized image format.
If you create a new format after closing the dialog box by pressing OK, a dialog "Create element", which follows the format and select the name of the folder in the library of standard parts, which will save the created format:
By default the path "DB \ Drawing borders template". If you want to keep the format in another folder, press 
and select the folder that appears in your browser.

Note: |
See stamp UID by inserting the drawing title block of the database manager nanoCAD Construction 23.At the command prompt displays the hexadecimal object UID |
Predefined templates are stored in the formats "DB \ Drawing borders template". It is recommended that the new template is stored in the same folder, but when loading the template can be seen the whole base.
Frame custom format has a fixed size - the one set in the template. There is a special recognition mode that allows the use of standard scalable framework with their stamps. To enable this mode, select from the list in the dialog master the standard by which the frame will be built. In this mode, all of the graphics in the template are ignored, except for text and bounding box. The frame can be of any size - in the final format it replaced with standard frame. All texts are considered names stamps. There are two variants of binding stamps:
· If the text begins with the "#" symbol, it is stored offset from the insertion point to the nearest corner of the bounding box.
· If the symbol "#" no stored offset from the text insertion point to the bottom left corner of the bounding box.
|
Note: |
Standard sizes have patterns in the database - their patterns are embedded in the program code. |
Main menu: Construction - Tables and title block - 
New title wizard.
Toolbar: New title wizard ( " Drawing Title/Borders").
Command line: SPSTAMPWIZ.
To change an existing stamp, select it from the drop-down list of templates.
To add a new format, select the drop down list "Template name (new)".
A template stamp can have up to four different graphical representations: simple and full (advanced) type, including the form of the first sheet and the view for subsequent sheets.
Select one of the tabs: "Simple view" or "Extended view". Click the left mouse button on one of the fields marked with a stamp type, and select the drawing template you created earlier mock punch. Confirm the selection click OK.
In the dialog box "Create stamp" will be recognized image of the stamp.
If you create a new stamp, after closing the dialog box by pressing OK, a dialog "Create element", where you must enter the name of the stamp, and choose a library of standard parts folder in which to save the template created by the stamp:
New templates stamps recommend that you save to the folder "DB \ Drawing borders template \ Title block templates".
If the layout for the die table to use, it will retain its editing capabilities even being introduced to the format. For these tables are only supported editing in place.
The pattern die may be up to four types:
· the main type of the first sheet,
· he main type of follow-up sheets,
· an expanded view of the first sheet,
· an expanded view of the next sheet.
The texts, starting with the single character "$" are recognized as the names of the fields. The editing dialog stamp they will be displayed in the form input fields. Name field can contain spaces and extended characters. Dimensions of the field defined primitives surrounding the point of its insertion. If you found another symbol "$", the text after it considered the description field. This text will be displayed in the list of properties:

To limit the size of the field or eliminate overlapping fields in the dialog, you can use the service line. This is a primitive with zero thickness or line marked as the utility from mcWizParam. Set the parameter.
If you set daw "Work object", then stamped on tobrazhatsya these primitives will not.
To create a stamp based on an existing base in the sample, the sample to be inserted into the drawing, and in his dialogue press "Show Field Names". View selected stamp button "View".
After that, the object can be divided (explode), edited and used as the layout.
The dialogue is a choice of the standard, which is taken from a stamp. This standard is used for the selection of the frame formats in recognition of the primitives.

A distinctive feature of nanoCAD Construction 23 is the possibility of linking the designation of textual information on the drawing with the text in the technical requirements.
When writing paragraphs of technical requirements (hereinafter TC), you can make reference within the proposal of the paragraph of technical requirements to any position or affixed view.
The textual information is the tolerances and dimensions, drawing zones, designations of types, cuts, sections, marking signs, marking of welded joints, position.
A change in the value of the textual information (for example, a part position number) will result in an automatic change in the TC text. If this position has been deleted, a warning will appear about the need to check a particular item of requirements.
The relationship between the TC and the designation works in the opposite direction. Changing the order of the points of the requirements (their numbering) is automatically reflected in the designation on the drawing (for example, a marking mark, the designation of which contains the item number from the technical requirements).
