Automation Preferences

You can set preferences to adjust the behavior of Xsite tools.

1. From the Office menu select Preferences.
   Or
   Click the Preferences icon on the Office ribbon.
   
   

2. Click Automation.
   
   
   
   

3. Change any of the following settings:
   
   Add Elevation name in 'Alias 1' column, when checked, will place the Elevation name in the Alias 1 column for every Xsite Part associated with the Elevation.  This will allow identical parts to be listed separately for each Elevation they are associated with.
   
   Note: When generating an order list for Xsite this should be unchecked to allow consolidation of like part numbers.
   
   The Elevation marker radius size will control the size of the link arrow symbol used in new drawings. This should only be changed before any elevations have been created in a drawing file, otherwise the markers will be placed in incorrect locations and the size will not change.
   
   Note: If you need to change the size of the arrow after creating an elevation, use the scale command to change the size of an elevation marker in an existing drawing.
   
   Plan View Layout - enter the plan view layout's text size and distance above structure. See Plan view structure.
   
   The Topcap controls can be used to select the desired default size when elevations are created.  This default can be changed after the elevation is created — see Modify an elevation.

4. Click OK.
