Dialog options

  • ID, ObjectTree and Memo-Window see Common Input Data
  • Update automatically/Hold Value: By default, the calculated level in the level box is updated automatically (with every recalculation). With option "Hold Value" activated the recent level remains unchanged upon a recalculation. In contrary, the lines or areas of equal sound level on the grid, however, always show the actual level.
  • Precision: The level value is rounded according to the entered decimal.
  • Centre and Length/Width: xy coordinates of the center of the level box, length and width (m)
  • Scale Dimensions: When activated the dimensions of the box and the font size change according to the selected scale. To fix the specific size of a box for a certain scale, first select this scale and change the settings of the box as required. These settings will be kept for all subsequent level boxes as well. In this case, just click with the mouse at further locations to set additional level boxes. Those boxes will have the same size as the original.
  • Frame: When activated a frame is drawn. At the same time, the level box receive a white fill, i.e. objects located underneath will be covered by the level box. When this option is deactivated no frame is drawn and the object is transparent.
  • Angle: The input of a value in degree causes a rotation of the level box around its center related to the x-axis. Positive (counter-clockwise rotation) and negative values (clockwise rotation) can be entered.
  • Alignment: The desired alignment of the text within the frame is adjusted by selecting the corresponding option. The preview shows the orientation.
