Label style for a title block
Objective
The aim of this exercise is to create a label style for a submission

plan with index notes (= change notices). This label style will serve
as the basis for additional title blocks.
Allplan 2014
Steps in planning a label style for a title block

1 Analyze existing layouts.
2 Do you need one or more title blocks in your daily work?
3 Review the title blocks you are currently using. It may be possible
to harmonize different title blocks or parts thereof so that the
layouts in your office have a uniform appearance.
4 Decide on the contents of the title block.
Tip: You can find an overview
of the different attribute
groups and attributes in the
appendix.
5 Select the required attributes and their format settings.

6 Assemble the title block.
7 Save the finished title block.
8 Test the new title block thoroughly in conjunction with different
layouts in various projects.
9 Brief your colleagues on the new title block and show them how
to use it correctly.
10 Add the label style (title block) to the office standard so that it is
used for new projects.
11 Create more title blocks with the same functionality
for drafts, building documents and working drawings, for
example.
Layout labels
What types of attributes are useful for a title block?

1 Project-specific attributes
-
Construction project (with plot)
Client (with address)
Project name
Other persons involved in the project (structural engineer,

checking structural engineer, customer, orderer, building
contractor, architect..)
2 Layout-specific attributes
-
Layout name, layout identifier and layout number
Layout contents
Index notes with the date and person in charge (edited by)
Creation date and person in charge (created by)
Date of last modification and person in charge (edited by)
3 System attributes
-
Project name in Allplan
Computer name
System time and date
Allplan 2014
Project-specific attributes
The attributes for the client address, construction project, structural
engineer and so on are always available in the project. All you need
to do is to fill them out. You can hide unassigned values so that you
can see better.
Note: If you are working with the Workgroup Manager, only the
administrator (SYSADM) can edit the project attributes.
You can select and enter project attributes in three places in the
program:
New Project, Open Project
ProjectPilot - Admin

Assembling a title block
Allplan 2014

The aim of this exercise is to create a label style for an architect's
submission plan with change notices. This label style will serve as
the basis for additional title blocks.
This title block basically consists of three parts plus a legend and/or
fields for the signatures of the architect, the client and the neighbors.
Drawing the title block

To draw the title block
1 Open an empty drawing file and close all the others.
2 Set the reference scale in the status bar to
length to [mm].

as well as for the Client, Client address, Client street and Client
ZIP code/ city attributes. You can find all these attributes in the
Project category.
Note: If you created the template text as Paragraph text, you can
use
Explode Paragraph to resolve the paragraph into
individual lines and then align the attributes using

Layout attributes
To use layout attributes
1 Click
Label Style (Tools palette - Architecture family Rooms, Surfaces, Stories module - Create area).
3 Select the Layout category, choose the Layout type attribute and
click OK to confirm.
4 Define the Text settings and change the Format to A60.
5 Place the attribute in the workspace.

6 Use the same approach to place the Layout name and Layout
description attributes.
Tip: Look in the appendix for

an overview of all formats.
7 The Layout created by and Index created by attributes (Layout

category) require the A7 format; the Created on and Index date
attributes (Layout category) require the D10 or D8 format.
Note: The Created on attribute refers to the date on which the
layout was created. The Layout created by attribute refers to the
person who is assigned to the date on which the layout was
created. The Index date attribute represents the date of the most
recent change in the layout. The Index created by attribute refers
to the person who is responsible for the most recent change in
the layout.

8 Place the Project number (General category) and Hierarchic code

attributes (Drawing file category) so that they are centered in the
corresponding boxes.
9 Finally, place the Layout number (A4 format, Layout category)

and Index old (A2 format, Layout category) attributes.
Note: Pay attention to the drop-in point when you place the
attributes for the layout number and layout index:
Layout number
Index old
Note: Alternatively, you can also create a formula that connects
the two attributes so that they are always displayed in the best
possible way. For example, you can use an Excel formula
(requires Microsoft Office):

Allplan 2014
Index notes
Index notes are change notices that are assigned to the date of
change (index date) and the person in charge (index created by).
There are several ways in which you can create the block of index
notes:
-
You can use the index notes of an existing title block (see
appendix).
You can create them from scratch using paragraph text (see
appendix).
You can create them from scratch using lines of text and a
special index.
To create index notes using lines of text

1 Click
Label Style (Repeat menu).
2 Start with the Created on attribute (Drawing file category).

On the Label Style Context toolbar, set the parameters as shown:
3 Place the Created on attribute in the bottom line of the Index

notes area.
Layout labels
17
4 Use the same parameters to place the Layout created by attribute

(Layout category) to the right of the attribute you just placed.
5 Select the Index note attribute (Layout index category), set the
following parameters and place it in the line above. Prior to
placing, set the special index at top right to 1.
6 Start at the bottom and complete the lines of the block of index
notes by placing the Index note attribute. For each line, you need
to enter a new number in the special index (1, 2, 3,).
7 Use the same approach to place the Index date (D8 format,
Layout index category) and Index created by (A7 format, Layout
index category). Make sure that you set the special index
correctly for each attribute.
18
Allplan 2014
Note: The Index date (date of change), Index created by (person

who changed the layout) and Index note (note on the change)
attributes react to the setting of the special index.

More system attributes

It is a good idea to include more information in the layout, such as
the date of printing (current date, current time), computer name,
version number and project name.
To add system attributes

1 Click
Open the General category and select the Current date, Current
time, Computer and User name attributes.
Place these attributes.
Note: This information is useful if the layout is not displayed

correctly and you need to find the error or in similar situations.
Note: The User name attribute refers to the Windows logon
name!
Enhancing the title block

To enhance the title block
Here, too, you can use attributes to insert the office name and
address. However, you can also include this data as fixed lines of
text using the Text module.
Bitmap
To integrate a logo into the template, you can use the
Area tool (Tools palette, Basic family, Draft module, Create area) or
Link with Scanned Image tool (Tools palette, Bonus Tools
the
family, Scan module, Create area).

You can enter the necessary information on the General and
Settings tabs.
Select the Settings tab and open the Index table area. You can
assign change notices and release notes in the form of an index table
to a layout. Select the index type in the New index line. Layout
legends do not take into account sub-indexes.
The subordinate entries of the index are displayed. An additional line
- New index - is added for another layout index.
Specify the index entries.

Part 1: Index note (change notice)
Using the change notice of an existing title block
Basically, there are two ways to create the attribute block of index
notes (change notices). You can use the change index of an existing
title block or create a new block. You will begin by using the index
of an existing title block. After this, you will learn how to create the
block from scratch.
To customize the change notice

1 Click
26
Allplan 2014
2 Click Read in the input options.

Select the Default folder, open subfolder 8 Layout Labels and
select label style 6 Tab created large.
3 Click OK and place the label style next to the title block in the
drawing file.
Appendix
27
Note: The attribute names used in this label style correspond to

the following attributes:
Gendertda --> Index date (date of change)
Ersteller --> Layout created by
Planbearbeiter --> Index created by (person who changed the
layout).
nderungsvermerk --> Index note (note on the change)
4 Click Modify in the input options and then click the Change
notice line at the top.
All the lines of the block of paragraph text are hidden.
5 Set the format to A80 and press ENTER to confirm. Click in the
workspace with the right mouse button. The first line is displayed
again. Now you can see the settings of the second line. Here,
too, change the format to A80. Repeat this step for all the other
lines until the entire block is displayed again.
6 Using the same approach, change the format of the Created by
and Layout edited by attributes to A7.
28
Allplan 2014
7 Click
Change Text Parameters (Tools palette - Basic family Text module - Change area), set the parameters as shown below
and open a selection rectangle around the title block you have
just placed.
8 Finally, move the individual blocks of paragraph text so that they

are positioned correctly in the title block.
Creating new index notes (change notices)

To create new index notes (change notices)
1 Click
3 Select the Layout index category, choose the Index note attribute
and click OK to confirm.
4 Define the Text settings, change the Format to A80, the Text
height to 2.5 mm and place the attribute.
5 Place the attribute another ten times.

6 Click
11 attributes.
Place the block created.
Tip: If
Line feed is a
positive value, the first
change notice appears at the
top of the layout and the
latest one at the bottom.

the latest one at the top.
7 Click
Change Text Settings (Tools palette - Basic family Text module - Change area) and set the parameters as follows:
8 Move the block of paragraph text to the correct position in the

title block.
9 Using the same approach as for the Index note attribute, create a
block of paragraph text for the Index date (Layout index
category, D10 format) and Index created by attributes (Layout
index category, A7 format).
Note: Make sure that you place the attributes individually and set
the format correctly!

Part 2: blocks of formulas
Allplan 2014
10 Finally, place the Created on (Drawing file category) and Layout

created by attributes (Layout category) in line 00.
Part 2: blocks of formulas

Example of a formula for a block consisting of three lines
Blank lines in a title block can be visually irritating.
For example, if you do not find a suitable layout type in the list and
thus leave this attribute empty, a blank line will appear in the title
block.
To prevent such a thing, you can use formulas.
This example shows the three lines of the following block as
intelligent formulas that automatically move the subsequent lines up
if there are blank lines.
Layout type
Layout name
Layout description
@438@
@445@
@439@
Appendix
31
Line 1:
_IF_(Layout type="")(_IF_(Layout name="")Layout
description_ELSE_Layout name_ELSE_Layout type
_IF_(@438@="")(_IF_(@839@="")@840@_ELSE_@839@_ELSE_
@438@
Line 2:
_IF_(Layout type=""&Layout name="")""_ELSE__IF_(Layout
type=""|Layout name="")Layout description_ELSE_Layout name
_IF_(@438@=""&@445@="")""_ELSE__IF_(@438@=""|@445@="
")@439@_ELSE_@445@
Line 3:
_IF_(Layout type=""|Layout name="")""_ELSE_Layout description
_IF_(@438@=""|@445@="")""_ELSE_@439@
The lines in brief:
Line 1:
If the Layout type attribute is empty, check the Layout name
attribute. If it is empty, use the Layout description attribute.
Otherwise, use the Layout name attribute. If the Layout type
attribute is not empty (ELSE at the end), use the Layout type
attribute.
Line 2:
If Layout type AND Layout name are empty, write nothing.
Otherwise, check whether either of the attributes is empty. If this is
true, use Layout description. Otherwise, use Layout name.
Line 3:
If Layout type OR Layout name is empty, write nothing. Otherwise,
use Layout description.
In principle, these formulas are structured logically and easy to
understand.
If any questions or problems arise, the Serviceplus Forum will prove
useful.

Formats
The following formats are available:
A
Alphanumeric format (text)

Format for text attributes such as name, function, material and
similar attributes.
A23 - text with 23 characters
A1 - text with 1 character
You can define an attribute as a text item with 255 characters
maximum.
The length of many attributes is internally limited to 16
characters (see overview of attributes in the appendix).
Floating-point format
Format for numerical attributes such as
floor_area_finished_dimensions, base_area, perimeter and
similar attributes.
For example, the F6.1 format means:
floating-point value comprised of 6 characters, of which 1 is for
decimal places.
Applying different formats to the value 1234.5678, yields the
following results:
F6.1 - 1234.6
F8.3 - 1234.568
F5.2 - **** only placeholders are displayed to prevent mistakes.
Important: the decimal point counts as a character. Internal
calculations are more precise; the last digit is thus rounded off
automatically.
Note: When using the floating-point format, make sure that
enough digits are available for the results of calculations. If the
results cannot be displayed correctly as there are not enough
digits, only asterisks are displayed. These asterisks serve as
placeholders. In this case, correct your label style and replace
the labels.
Exact internal format

Same as floating-point format but used for lists to calculate
precise sums from exact values.
Appendix
43
Integer format
Used in the same way as floating-point format but does not
display decimal places.
The last digit is rounded off.
I6 - number consisting of six digits
Elevation format
The elevation format is a floating-point format.
Millimeters are automatically formatted as superscript and the
sign is displayed explicitly (for elevation labels, sill heights and
similar attributes).
Note: In conjunction with the elevation format, it is essential
that you set the Unit to 'm', select the Do not show unit option
and set the Format to at least 10.3.
Currency format
The currency format is a floating-point format.
The currency format is used for prices, for example: prices are
internally saved in EURO and converted and displayed in
accordance with the Input, output currency setting in the
Project Settings dialog box.
A unit must be set.
The number of digits must take the unit specification into
account.
Date format
The date format in Allplan is the same as the format set on the
Windows Control Panel (short date or long date).The value after
D defines the maximum number of characters for the date.
Note: When you use the date format, check that enough
characters are available for long month names.
D30 - THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2012
D10 - 20.09.2012
D8
- 22.09.12
Note: Date formats with fewer than eight characters are not
displayed.
44
Allplan 2014
Inch format
N15.2 - 15 characters, max. fraction
Feet format
T10.64 - 10 characters are displayed, max. fraction 1/64
T12 - up to 12 characters are displayed; the fraction is based
on the setting in Defaults.
