TextPos (Text Positioning)

TextPos 1

The function of TextPos is to position and output Pipeline Attribute text values into their required slots on the Isometric Backing Sheet In this respect TextPos can be used to control the output of any of the text attribute series -6 to -19 -600s -700s and -900s

It can also used to control certain other non-text items - like the North Arrow (the position located is the tip of the arrow) Setting a TextPos location to X0 Y0 causes the item not to be output - this feature can be used to suppress the output of the North Arrow
