5.11.1.2. Configuration

In order to make an alternative size available in the 2-D derivation, the following requirements are needed from the manufacturer in the design process:

For single part or assembly projects (see Fig. „Alternative 2D size“) set the following entries under PARTproject -> Edit project -> tab page General -> section Alternative 2D size:

Control variable
Default value for control variable

>This entry causes,

the option Shortened view to be displayed on the 2D view dialog page.
that program internally a different value is calculated with.

Shortened view

Alternative 2D size

Expand table in PARTeditor:
1. Apply the alternative variable, which is entered as Control variable in PARTproject (in the following "HUB2D", for example).
2. Apply a column with Default value for control variable (in the following "XHUB", for example)
Columns for alternative dimensioning: "HUB2D" and "XHUB"
In the sketch apply the respective values dynamically with an IF condition.

Example:
```
IF HUB2D = 0 THEN HUB ELSE XHUB ENDIF
```
Optionally for the display of the dimensioning text:

In the project directory, in the file customdimension.txt set an entry for automatic dimensioning. See also Section 5.10, “Specify automatically created dimensionings (notations) for 3D view and 2D derivation ”.
```
CUSTOMDIMENSIONS {
  HORIZONTAL {
    PNT1 { CONPNT { "vorne" } }
    PNT2 { CONPNT { "hinten" } }
    POSITION { BBOXOFFSET{ 15 } }
    FONTHEIGHT { 3.5 }     
    TEXT { "{HUB}" }  
  }
}
```
