This function is only available in the Pro version.

This function allows you to include information about the characteristic to be created when stamping, essentially the →characteristic class.

When is the function useful?

The main use case is not automatically readable graphic symbols in the drawing entry. The symbols are visible, but unlike other texts consisting of letters and numbers, they are not →character-coded, but only composed of geometric elements. Some CAD systems export PDF drawings in this way. In the following examples A and B, the diameter and plus-minus sign (⌀, ±) and the flatness symbol (⏥) are made up of lines.

Another use case can be the creation of characteristics from entries which are fully character coded but cannot be unambiguously interpreted from the pure text information, such as coordinate dimensions, see Example C.

In the examples, correctly described characteristics can be created quickly and reliably by specifying the classes “Diameter”and “Flatness” respectively “X-coordinate” and “Y-coordinate”. In example A, the plus-minus sign addition must also be activated. Drawing entries consisting of several text fragments must be stamped as a group, as is mandatory in example A, optional in example B (non-text elements, such as lines, also do not have to be included). In example C, a total of four characteristics are created by stamping areas.
