In-Depth Information
information from your schedule. It also allows you to create a schedule with
more information that is useful for calculations or design decisions but is
more than would normally be shown on a drawing. When the time comes to
put the schedule on a drawing, you can hide the unwanted columns.
The Appearance Tab
The Appearance tab of the Schedule Properties dialog box contains the
settings that define how the schedule looks when placed on a sheet. Grid
lines and an outline can bechosen from any oftheline styles defined in your
project. If you do not choose an option for the outline, the line style chosen
for the grid lines will be used. The option to include grid lines within the
headers, footers, or spacers is also available.
The check box to provide a blank row between the headings and schedule
data is selected by default. If this is not how you normally display your
schedules, you have to deselect this box whenever you create one. The
Appearance tab also has settings for the text within a schedule, as shown
in
Figure 7.16
. The font and text height that you choose for header text will
be applied to all headings, subheadings, and the title of the schedule unless
you opt to override these in the schedule itself. To do that, select the title or
heading, and from the ribbon, select Font in the Appearance panel.
