Header Line 1: The 1st line of the header that appears above a column on the bill or report. The length of this cannot exceed the " Field width ."
Header Line 2 : The 2nd line of the header that appears above a column on the bill or report. The length of this cannot exceed the " Field width ."
Header Justify : The text justification of the Header Line 1 and Header Line 2. The typical practice for this is to ' Center ' them, otherwise they may be ' Left ' or ' Right ' justified.
Field Width : Any integer up to 39. This sets the column width (in characters) on the bill or report.
Column Justify : The text justification of the data inside of the Bill of Material. They may be ' Center ' or ' Left ' or ' Right ' justified.
Plot Order: Inactive or a number (1 through 22) or sometimes Merge. ' Inactive ' stops the column from being printed. A ' number ' sets the order in which the column appears on the bill of material (' 1 ' is the leftmost column, ' 3 ' is third from the left). ' Merge ' routes information to another column on the bill of material.

| Defining the left-to-right order of columns on a bill of material and in the bill editor: |
| Print Order |
| The number that is entered as the " Plot Order " sets the left-to-right order and which columns that are shown on the physical bill and in Edit Bill . |
| Making entries: ' Inactive ' or a ' number ' (' 1 ' through ' 18 ') and sometimes ' Merge ' are allowable entries. ' Inactive ' stops the column from being printed. A ' number ' sets the order in which the column appears on the bill (' 1 ' is the leftmost column, ' 3 ' is third from the left). ' Merge ' routes information to another column on the bill. |
Report width in characters: The total number of characters that the BOM will be wide. This number is automatically calculated from the " Field width " assigned to categories for which a particular order has been assigned. Making a particular category ' Inactive ' decreases the report width. Assigning a " . . . Order " to a category increases the report width.

Setup: " Inside pen color " under the " Bill of Material " tab in Drawing Presentation .
Maximum spacing between items : A number of blank rows . This applies when bill data for more than one member is included in a bill of material that you are reviewing. If there isn't enough room to apply the maximum number of blank rows, the program may reduce the number of blank rows to as few as one row.
|
s = spacing. In this example, the spacing is two rows. The two rows separate the bill data for member B_11 from the bill data for member B_12. |
Setup: " Maximum spacing between items " under the " Bill of Material " tab in Drawing Presentation .
Minimum number of rows: The number of rows that will be shown in the bill of material you are reviewing when it has no bill data compiled into it. When the user of a full-featured SDS2 program adds bill data to the bill, the number of lines will increase beyond this minimum if and only if doing so is required to accommodate the added data and only if the " Maximum number of rows " is set to a larger number than the minimum.

In this example, the headers take up 2 rows, the bill data takes up 5 rows, and the " Minimum number of rows " is ' 10 '. This leaves 3 blank rows. |
Setup: " Minimum number of rows " under the " Bill of Material " tab in Drawing Presentation .
Maximum number of rows: The number of rows that the bill of material you are reviewing is allowed to dynamically expand to in order to accommodate new bill data that is added in a full-featured SDS2 program .

Font dependencies: This applies to whatever font is selected as the " Bill font ," regardless of whether that font is a TrueType font or the ' SDS2 ' font.
Setup: The default character height for bill text is the " Bill items character height " in Drawing Presentation .
Bill of material attached to view: A number designating the view that this bill of material is attached to. This applies mainly to member details since it is member details that may have multiple views. If the bill of material you are reviewing is on a sheet outline -- the drawing type a BOM is usually placed on -- you can safely disregard this option.
Layer: The drawing layer (any layer given a " Name ") that the bill of material you are reviewing is placed onto.
Title text: The characters in the title of the bill of material that you are reviewing. Up to 61 characters may be entered.
|
The " Title text " in this example is " LISTADO DE MATERIALES ." If a title such as this is on a sheet outline , then all bills of material on sheets that are subsequently created from that sheet outline will have that same title. |

Font dependencies: This applies to whatever font is selected as the " Title font ," regardless of whether that font is a TrueType font or the ' SDS2 ' font. For a TrueType font, a ratio of ' 0.6 ' renders that font at its native width. A ratio larger than ' 0.6 ' stretches the font. A ratio less than ' 0.6 ' compacts the font. For the ' SDS2 ' font, ' 0.4 ' is the default choice.

Title font style: The style (' Bold ' or ' Bold Italic ' or ' Italic ' or ' Regular ') of the selected " Title font ." Different fonts may have different styles available to them.
Available font styles are listed alphabetically in the font style list box , and the first style that is listed when you change to a different " Title font " is automatically selected as the style for that font. You may, instead of using the automatically selected font style, prefer to choose ' Regular ', which is generally the most popular style for a particular font. ' Regular ' is the only choice that is available for the ' SDS2 ' font.
